Who pays for the roof?

[Jon66]

Have you made enquiries to the solicitor who acted for you on the purchase, as the issue should have been pointed out to you during the conveyance. With no lease agreement who decides when the maintenance work that will need doing is carried out? I struggle to see how the terms of a lease can be extended...

No conflict, this happens a lot.

Don't overlook things, claim for everything. Obtain quotes and submit them with your claim.

[Jon66]

What was agreed is in the signed tenancy agreement. It is a legal document and
you should always read these in full before signing as they set out the terms and conditions. What you have said was discussed would not in my opinion invalidate the agreement. You have failed to advise what date is...

Look for an exchange.

Give him notice. Circumstances are changing or some such excuse.
