Never buy your house in good weather ... wait until it's really foul ... like our most recent. Or ... hose down the windows for 10 minutes each. Then check inside to see how badly they leak. Otherwise, you'll end up like me with a kitchen floor that is a pool of water. I have to wait for the window specialist tomorrow ... though I phoned two days ago.
I am now in process of suing the solicitor who handled the purchase of my current abode. His conveyancing was a complete shambles.
It reminds me of a freind who bought his house a few years ago. When he moved in, he was putting the gas fire in place, when he realised there was no gas pipe. In fact there was no gas anywhere in the house ... not even a pipe from the mains in the street outside. He got it installed at a hefty price ... then successfully sued his solicitor for 10,000 quid.
Cross your fingers ... cos I'm going for the jugular.
