Id just like to say Hi to everyone first before I pick your brains on an issue i have...My names Ash im from neath in south wales...
I purchased a end of terrace property back in november 2011.I have recieved a letter today from the local building control regarding the lack of building regs and planning for timber cladding the previous owner had fitted to the pine end of the property...
I spoke to the council today who have told me iv goto apply for building regs at a cost of £200.They also told me that its also been passed onto the planning concent department which im sure will result in a lot more extra cost..
I need to know whare i stand as i would have thought the solicitor should have picked this up from the searches and survey carried out on the property when purchasing..
So i need to know is it a case of the solicitor being at fault and should they except liability?? or does it fall into my hands??
I would realy apreciate some advice as its stressing me out quite a lot..
Thanks everyone!!!
Ps i phoned the solicitor and was told she on anual leave untill next monday...
