my partner and i live in his flat which has a lovely sunny balcony - one of the main reasons that he bought the flat about 4 years ago. a few months ago, the garden flat below us was sold and the new owner immediately informed us that she in fact owns our balcony - and having checked her deeds and our deeds, she is correct. on legal advice, my partner is now suing his conveyancing solicitor, and part of this is to get them to cover the £8,000 (!) that the woman downstairs wants for us to buy the balcony.
however, our flat was marketed as a balcony flat - it is in the estate agent details - and i know that the vendor knew she didn't own the balcony, but lied to the estate agent and to my partner. is there any action that we can take against the estate agent and/or the vendor?
thanks for any advice...
