We moved in December and if I recall you don’t fill in the form until you have actually sold the house STC. The buyers solicitor then has the form. You could put that there was a minor dispute which was quickly resolved. Hopefully the buyers will love the house so much that it won’t affect the sale. You could speak to them directly and explain.
Yes we had this problem.We complained to the local authority about a persistent barking Alsatian dog.They left it in the garden whilst they worked all day, It just barked, barked and barked, often until nine at night.
We asked them nicely at first to do something about it but they just ignored us.
They went mental when they received a letter and turned very abusive.
We eventually decided to move. We put our house on the market and sold it with three weeks.We had to inform any buyers that we had had a neighbour dispute.
They still wanted the house. The husband of the family buying it said he wasn’t worried as he would sort it out,
The neighbours did us a favour as we moved into a lovely bungalow and have lived here happily, without any noise, for twenty years.
Hi it's me again 😄
Well as you already know we have put our house on the market up to now we he had 3 viewings and 2 more booked in and at every viewing the neighbour has waited till we have taken the potential purchases out into the garden and then she has opened her front door and stood against it and no doubt she is going to do it with our other viewers as well, my question is could this classed as harassment if she does ?.
many thanks in advance.

The house I lived in as a kid was once flooded well before we moved in but it never flooded in all the time myself and my parents lived there which must have been a good 20 years or more. The fact that it was flooded once, a long time ago (along with all the other houses in that road) was only known by the old folk and passed on by word of mouth. Since it has never flooded since and unlikely to I suspect, how far back in history are you supposed to declare it?

We used an estate agent who showed viewers round. We just went out until they had gone. That may keep your neighbour a bit more under control.
I would do this too, it’s much easier, as long as the agent is a good salesperson. They can 'big up' your property against others on the market.
The SPIF (Seller’s Property Information Form) is usually sent out to a seller with the initial pack. It’s then held on file until a purchaser is found and it’s sent to their solicitor.
I'd be very wary of "a rule of thumb" I doubt it has any basis in law.
Surely it is easier just to declare it but put the rider about how many years ago it happened and that it was minor with no damage.
I might be too cautious but what would the insurance company's stance be if they found a way of avoiding a payout?

Rule of thumb was probably the wrong term. It’s 15 years for right of way, no rule of thumb involved there. 15 years use of something gives you the right to use it.
