Hi
I know this site deals with Irish Issues but I'll ask the question in case anybody has any experience either in Ireland or the UK. My Sister recently bought a flat in Edinburgh and got the keys last Friday. She got a survey done and all was deemed well. The seller had put a new bathroom in (in order to bump up the selling price of course). Since she has moved in she has a lot of problems with the electrics and when she turned the shower on it blew all the fuses. She had an electrician friend take a look and he said she was lucky she wasn't electrocuted the job was so shoddy. He said significant rewiring work had to be done. In short what I'm asking has my sister any comeback on the seller who essentially left the flat in a dangerous condition or is it too late once the deal is done.
Any advice/information gratly appreciated as always.
