We am currently trying to sell a house which we bought 3 years ago and have been at final stages 3 times now and it has fallen through! Mainly this has been due to lack of funds on the buyers part (banks getting sticky) but the last was due to the fact that the guy next door has an ext which is built up from the parity wall. This ext was there when we bought the house (our surveryor saw no problem with this - we were clueless and didnt realise it might be an issue). The estate agent is now saying that it is going to be impossible to sell the house like this as anyone buying who wants to build an ext wont be able too, due to damp issues?? My question is, what is the situation here re a new buyer, is the neighbours ext illegal and should our surveyor have picked this up?? Any advice very gratefully received as we need to sell this house!
