Hi guys I'm at a bit of a dead end here and seeking some guidance from folks more in the know!
I've sold my current property which was a new build by a large property developer from 2009. Now everything with the sale has gone smoothly until now which I'm at the point of exchanging contracts there is one thing that is holding everyone up. The buyers solicitors are having issue with us not having any kind of installation certificate of the solar thermal panels.
No problem I thought, I'll get hold of the management company who service this area (Radian Management) and I've had no luck with this, I've also tried the developers and even found the original installer but still nothing.
My issue here is that we never received anything when purchasing this property in the first place (we are the second owner) and our solicitors at the time never even raised any concern over this as the solar thermal panels and came with the house, not added at a later date.
Is our buyers solicitor being extra picky here and if so what else can anyone suggest to get around this? I've offered a solution of having a certified installer to write up a report and they have come back asking for this plus indemnity insurance against the panels which I feel is just taking the **** frankly.
This has held up exchange for the last 2 weeks and seems like the daftest reason to be holding things up!
Any help is appreciated
