Just wonder if anyone has an experience with trying to buy a house from the landlord. We would like to buy a house just like the one we are renting at the moment and we thought about asking our landlord if he is willing to sell it to us. We have no indication of whether he is intersted in selling or not. Now, we've asked him a good few weeks back to replace windows (single glazed/old wooden mouldy frames) and to do something about the mould in the kitchen, he agreed but nothing has been done so far. From our experience over the past couple of years it seems he doesn't want to invest any money into this house. So our concern is that if we ask him about selling a house to us and he says no, then he'd assume that we want to move and will ignore the current mould issues.. Obviously, if we buy another house, we will eventually move but that could be another year or even more as we are in no hurry to buy a house by the end of the year.. but with two small kids we can't really live in a mouldy house.... Anyone having an experience with dealing with landlord re this?
