Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but....
I purchased a property back in 2012, which I am now looking to sell.
My estate agent has come to do the marketing and has found that there is no EPC registered for the property, despite it being a legal requirement to have one in order to complete the sale in 2012.
I have been in touch with the agent I purchased it through and the solicitors who did the conveyancing, who are essentially blaming each other. The agent is saying that it's a legal thing therefore the solicitors shouldn't have completed without it. The solicitors are saying the agent shouldn't have even marketed the property without one. The solicitors are being a bit more helpful in that they are going to check through my file and find the details of it, but I don't hold out much hope and the file needs to be retrieved from storage, which is going to take a few days.
I know these aren't expensive (around £120) but I'd rather not have to pay for it if possible.
Does anyone know who really is responsible for this?
Thanks in advance
James
