Hope I’m asking in right place!
I tried to purchase a property - viewed it and then made an offer. During viewing I asked the vendors about the neighbours living in the other semi detached property and the vendors said there were no problems. Estate agent never mentioned anything.
I paid for an expensive survey as it’s an old property (grade 2 listed) and the surveyor warned me that there had been a big, expensive legal dispute between vendor and neighbour years ago and as a result they were on bad terms with each other (also the issue of shared septic tank and the fact they weren’t talking made shared management and costs difficult.
Vendors aren’t moving away but moving to the third property next to the two semi detached properties, so aren’t moving away.
I don’t want to be living in the middle of two families who hate each other - I wish the estate agent had told me! It would be different if the vendor was moving away. I phoned estate agent to ask if they knew there had been a dispute and they said the vendor had said they don’t speak to neighbour because of a row. Would I be right to complain to the ombudsman? Had the estate agent bothered to tell me this I wouldn’t have made an offer nor spent money on the survey!
