Hello,
We are about to put house we own (built 10 years ago not by us, inherited) on the market. We found out that the house has no waste system (puraflo system) installed, just a plain septic tank. We have been advised no one will be able to get a mortgage on the house because of this.
The problem is the company supposed to do it back then aren't in business anymore and a local company doesn't seem to want to touch it. They've said the planning has expired after 7 years so doesn't need to be done which my solicitor disagrees with.
Just wondering if anyone has experience with this and can advise? Should we just stay put until we can afford to put it in ourselves (around 9k the engineer said)? Will that cause problems too when the time comes to sell?
