I got help so quickly on a thread I started this afternoon, I thought I would try again!
We are in the process of selling our house and our buyer's solicitor has, so far, asked for 3 indemnities!
We have an entry way between us and our neighbours that is shared. Of course, this means our house has a 'flying freehold'. The entry has been there since the house was built in 1904 and every pair of houses has them in our road. The buyer's lawyer wants an indemnity for this.
We had the boiler replaced and the house rewired just over ten years ago. I no longer have the guarantees - they would have expired anyway. Now the buyer's lawyer wants an indemnity for the boiler and the wiring.
The buyer's lawyer is saying they will purchase these and I will have to pay. Not too keen on that for obvious reasons as it could run into hundreds and I will have no control over the cost at all.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If you did, how did you deal with it?
Any help will be sooo appreciated.
