Settlement is due to take place in 8 days and I've been in the process of decluttering and so on. A few days ago i moved a dresser that was in the hallway for about 5 years and to my dismay found a rodent hole where the floorboards meet the skirting board, about 5cm x 3 cm, small but noticeable. No way of knowing it was there.There was a mouse infestation a couple of years ago but I got rid of them quickly.
Does anyone know could this be a porblem with my purchaser as they wouldn't have noticed it either being under the dresser. Would this come under caveat emptor or could they insist I get it repaired? Guess I'll talk to my conveyancer tomorrow but I have pre-move jitters as it is .
