[size=0pt]Hello everyone, wishing you a good evening.
[size=0pt]I’m in the process of downsizing, to raise equity to help me in my senior Years. I received some dockets from my solicitor, one of which is a SPIF form. I have to declare any disputes or situations that may result in a dispute for the buyer. I will of course enquire with the solicitor but I’m hoping that some people on the forum may have some thoughts about this / similar circumstances so I have some ideas when I see the solicitor.
[size=0pt] In the 15 Years I have lived here, I have never had cause to complain about neighbours or any issues. But the way the document is worded seems to indicate that I must advise of reasons why there may be a potential dispute. I may be more tolerant than my purchaser, who may complain about issues that didn’t concern me. It seems so vague and grey area. I wonder if this has come from the European Parliament along with the Energy Efficiency grading I have paid for.
[size=0pt] Anyway, the lady opposite who is 85+ still drives, and although I have my own parking drive, occasionally my visitor’s park opposite her drive in the public road; no restrictions but her curb drop is narrow. She sometimes asks for their car to be moved because she cannot make the sharpe turn out. A potential dispute ??. Also, the young man next door lives alone. He is the prefect neighbour, no music, no parties. He is very private. I have only spoken to him twice in 10 Years and he has been very polite. However, his house and garden are a mess and he occasionally swears loudly, like screaming maybe at a computer or on the phone. Again, no problem as I don’t care and I know nothing about him. However, I fear my buyer will raise a dispute because of his property / occasional loud swearing.
[size=0pt] I’m wondering if I’m reading too much into this form. Has anyone else had an experience like this or similar. I fear the buyer will pull out of sale or try and devalue the offer.
[size=0pt] Thankyou everyone.
