The land was offered to us to buy at £20,000 (back garden is 15 metres x 10 metres and front half that size) , we offered them £10,000 , they eventually dropped down to £13,500 but we decided not to buy and put the house up for auction .
But in the meantime a neighbour came in and wanted to buy the house , so we agreed a price of £40,000 (the house needs renovating from top to bottom but ) and then they'd have to buy the land from the lease holders.
Since our last coversation with the lease holders telling them we are not buying the land and putting the house up for auction , they have sent a letter saying that the terms of the lease has been breached because in their words 'the house is in an advanced state of disrepair' ... which is nonsense because we've had a builder out who didn't see a problem with doing renovation works needed.
How can they serve up a notice to us when we didn't live there ?
