Hi all,
Hope this is the right form.
I recently sold a house that I bought a number of years ago but for one reason or another I never really lived in as my circumstances changed so the house was idle during this time but I maintained it.
As far as I was concerned the recent sale (2 years ago) was all done and dusted. Everything above board - solicitors, surveyors etc all happy and the purchaser was happy as they are living in the house since.
Recently however I have got a solicitors letter stating that there is an issue with the septic tank in that apparently its located within the neighbours boundary and not the house I sold. This was news to me.
The purchaser is looking for substantial compensation as a result. Can I be held liable in this situation?
