Question Author
Sorry, just to clarify a couple of things.
Some business expenses, eg electricity costs, are higher than the vendor told us (in writing). So our business plan calculations are wrong, and we are earning less than anticipated. Obviously, auzzie, customers not involved here.
Question to vendor - has the property ever been the subject of......flooding.....? Answer - No (I have Sellers Property Info Form). Since found out that the garden where the business (boarding cattery) is situated has flooded, to such an extent that the vendor called the Fire Brigade to pump out the water. This would have had a bearing on our decision whether to purchase or not, or whether to negotiate a lower price.
