I'm on the cusp on dealing with a difficult issue with the council regarding drainage on our road. Will email correspondence to the drainage department show up for all and sundry to see when I come to sell the property? Or does it not work like that?
Cheers folks.
I believe any communications from the council re: work to be done should be given to interested parties in the event of an offer (certainly is the case in Scotland). The week before I went to sell my flat, planning permission was granted for the construction of a huge student flat development to be butted on to the side of the house. Buyers didn't care though. I think, personally, its always best to be upfront with anything so no one gets disappointed later on.
doubt that a conveyancing solicitor would find the correspondence as can't think would find in standard checks but you will be required to complete a form that asks you to declare neighbour disputes, flood concerns, council disputes etc etc etc - this you have to sign in blood and will bind you thru eternity - if near sorted and you have positive outcome and no real horror story detailed that will put a purchaser off no problem
Thanks folks - I don't agree with cheating or lying – it's nothing underhand. It will get resolved, but I don't want to stir up potential hornets nests. We won't be moving for years anyway.
So would it be accurate to say that it's official correspondence sent [b]from[/b] the council that is stored?
I don't think that (in England anyway) that any of the conveyancing checks would look for correspondence with the council as such hopefully someone who really knows will come along
- if all resolved and will be history when you come to fill in the form about ongoing/historical disputes etc then in all our busy lives i'm sure you will have forgotten all about what was a minor issue and was easily resolved
