Legal Threats

It seems my solicitor has suggested to the Vendor's solicitors that they might like to investigate the quality of work done by the previous solicitor when the house was bought by the prior owner!

Since the terrace was in place when the property was bought, the fact that it was there sans planning permission should have been picked up in the searches done by the previous solicitor, and more importantly, since the vendor in this situation is the original mortgage lender for that sale, they should have been made aware of this exact problem at the time of that purchase.

So either they knew about it and are not letting on (possible given their game so far), or the previous purchaser's solicitor was negligent, hence the legal threat against them!

Time for someone else to feel some pain... Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

Right I'm off to find my black leather swivel chair and my fluffy white cat. :)
