Cruddy information: two

Before I bought the property I am now in I almost pulled out. The seller's solicitor was causing a lot of grief and asking me to pay for the freehold, which was not in line with the original agreement. The stress was so great, I was becoming more and more stressed and ill. I pulled out. I could not talk with anyone about it. It was only absolute assurance by the Manager at W.H Brown that although the solicitor was an "XCIGIIui;jdaj!!!" they knew the seller and that I could rely on him and he would be perfectly good as a co-freeholder. I not only believed the manager, I trusted him. What a shame.... The day I moved in and found that the promised deep clean had not happened, and I electrocuted myself on the "modern kitchen" I knew not only had I made a serious, serious error in moving, but that I had been totally misinformed about the man I am now a co-owner of the property with. The seller, has not moved stuff out of the flat, he has refused to help with all the problems with the meters, all of which were mislabelled, in fact if I had not twigged I would have been paying not just for my water board bill,but for his. So much for him being totally reliable. I am still getting threatening letters from TV licensing, from EOn, so heaven knows. It makes me feel totally insecure about the property and either staying or trying to sell it on. Trading Standards tell me it was totally inappropriate for the Estate Agents to in effect act as guarantors for the seller.
