looking for some advice re parents situation-
They sold their house (approx 5 years ago) to downsize as they are both OAP's. About 18 months ago the guy who bought the house started legal proceedings against his own solicitor, my parent's solicitor and my parents because of what was described as unauthorised development on the property (garage conversion) which his attention was drawen to after he tried and failed to re-sell the property. My parents are in their late 60's and are worried sick by this (literally) A guy called to the house and handed them a preliminary summons to respond in 8 days, his solicitor says he can't represent them as the action is also against him.
Could anybody please give me some idea of where they should go for assistance in this regard, they live on state pention and have no other income so a costly case could litterally ruin them.
Any advice would be very much appreciated
