Ladies and Gents,
I have never come across this before in my house buying history so need a bit of advice.
We are at the exchange stage of buying our 'forever' home. It has come to light that there is a 'Home Rights' lodged on the house by the vendors wife (soon to be ex). The vendors solicitor has so far told my solicitor that the undertaking to remove the home rights is to follow shortly, twice. Can I assume that this means that the vendor and his soon to be ex have not come to a financial agreement and that we could be waiting for this house some time?
As an aside we are not in a chain and are living in work accomodation that is not going to be taken away from us anytime soon, but would like to get moved for my son's education.
