Hi all
We are currently selling a house we bought in 2013 after nppr had ended. Our solicitor has come back to say there is no certificate of exemption for nppr for the previous owners and we may be liable to pay 7k! I'm sorry what. Firstly how were we able to buy the house without this? Also where does the liability fall? The people who sold the house to us lived here for 20 yrs as their principal primary residence. Not a hope im paying 7k for nothing. Baffled as to how this is our issue now. All advice welcome!
