Sykes, Joanna
It remains a question of buyer beware - 2010 - Estates Gazette (1025) 26 June 2010, 98-99(2) .
Questions the reliability of precontract enquiries and the established principle of the caveat emptor putting the onus on the buyer to carry out all necessary due digigence before buying a property. Subject to contract the buyer has no remedy against the seller unless misrepresentation can be proved. Looks at how sellers can limit their liability and buyers' remedies for incorrect and incomplete replies.
