Have deposit on house since Christmas and having some problems. We have two small children and are cash buyers. It,s become a bit tricky to sort out our purchase. The vendor,s solicitor is hopeless, and to make matters worse, we have found out there are LPT payments outstanding. The vendor has some money problems and our solicitor is suggesting some agreement to go ahead with the purchase with a clause that the vendor will sort out the LPT after the sale, I called LPT helpline to check that I would not be responsible for the LPT for the time the vendor lived there. They could not answer the question. It's over 6 months now since the deposit was paid and I have kids enrolled for school in September,so I want to move in soon. My question is will revenue be coming to me for monies owed previously if a buy the house, or will they chase the vendor who owed them money?
