Evening.
Contracts for a house purchase were signed in mid October 2014 but I didn't take possession until mid November. The contract states that "the vendor will discharge all LPT relating to the property in advance of the completion of the sale and furnish the purchaser with confirmation of payment on completion of the sale". However this did not happen and my solicitor could not contact the vendor's solicitor to get details of property ID etc. My solicitor advises that LPT liability will remain with the vendor. I would appreciate if anyone could clarify.
Thanks in advance!
