Something came up in another place I contribute that I though might interest folks here.
Couple bought a house. House has a driveway and they were assured that all appropriate permissions were in place for dropped kerb etc. Seems the assurance was given by the vendor personally, presumably as part of those endless questionnaires that house sales generate.
Their conveyancer didn't verify the information with the Council.
Council have now put a parking bay over the couple's drive and, when challenged, said tough luck, we never authorised a dropped kerb and any right to cross the pavement.
Can damages be claimed and if so from who?
