Homesellers packs sound like a nightmare to me...

[zippitippitoes]

in fact anything which means i have to pay out at the government's request

and whatever happened to testing the market

Homesellers Pack New Law

Bear in mind you have to pay out upto that money on surveys and things on the house you are buying so you just do it on the house you are selling instead. At least if you do it on the house you are buying, you get your choice of surveyors etc not some iffy one that the person selling has dug up from somewhere on the cheap.

I'm not sure that I'd like details of a mortgage (or not)whether My dp also has a share in the property (or my uncle etc), ope4n to all and sundry to see whether or not they intended to buy so a nosey neighbour charter I think

and I'm not sure that I'd have confidence in it if I was buying and who will insure the information if it proves inaccurate

I wouldn't want to think a sale was done and dusted caveat emptor and have it come back and bite me

think it a rubbish idea. I'm not going to trust a survey one for someone else - what legal liability will they have to me?
