A buyer's survey can change the discussion about a commercial property sale, even after a price has been agreed in principle. Paul Robinson Solicitors help sellers in Leigh-on-Sea consider requests about defects and repairs within the wider disposal. We distinguish factual replies, technical evidence and contractual promises so the response does not create obligations you have not evaluated.

Establish the evidence behind the concern

Ask for the relevant findings and compare them with the information you hold about the building. Provide records of inspections, repairs and associated correspondence to your solicitor. A qualified technical adviser may need to assess the buyer's description. We consider how the issue affects the legal replies and proposed contract rather than trying to resolve a condition dispute through unsupported assurances.

Compare the proposed commercial responses

The parties might discuss a price adjustment, specified works or proceeding on the existing basis. Each approach has different implications and requires agreement. We explain the legal terms of any proposal, including what would be promised about work and evidence of completion. Avoid offering to put everything right without defining the scope or understanding whether the proposed work is feasible.

Keep the sale record consistent

If new information changes an earlier reply, tell us so it can be addressed. We continue preparing the contract, dealing with title enquiries and arranging completion. A negotiated adjustment should be reflected appropriately in the documents, not left in a separate conversation. Technical advice remains important because the legal agreement does not itself establish the extent, cause or cost of a physical defect.

Frequently asked questions

Should I guarantee that a reported defect has been permanently cured?

Do not give an assurance beyond the evidence and commitment you understand. Share the repair records and obtain appropriate technical advice, then have any proposed contractual promise reviewed before it is offered to the buyer.

Does agreeing a lower price automatically settle every repair question?

Not necessarily. The effect depends on the agreed terms and the information provided. Your solicitor should ensure the documents reflect the bargain rather than assuming a price discussion answers all related enquiries or responsibilities.

What if a survey identifies something I genuinely did not know?

Provide the report or relevant information to your solicitor promptly. Your earlier knowledge and the newly available evidence should be distinguished, and any necessary update to replies or negotiations can then be considered.
