hi
Recently brought a house and now discovered that there is a Manhole under the extension of the house. We found out when we started work on the floor and found it under the raised floor (floor was on wooden joistings).
The builder said its a serious problem and needs to be dealt with, needs to be sealed up and moved outside. My girlfriend is so upset as there was no mention of this on the surveyor report or architect's Report. The owners provided building permission for the extension so we taught it was legal. We have gone back to our solicitor but we got the feeling that he doesnt want to know.
Does anyone have experience in this sort of thing or could give us some sound advice on this. Even a PM with a website link or name of a solicitor that would be good in this field.
thanks
