Questions, Questions

The meeting was all four of us and the Vendor and his Son at the Blue Bell, we arrived, had coffee, chewed the fat and got down to business.
It seems that just before Christmas the Vendor had received a list of 92 questions from our solicitor, many he felt were unreasonable. Apparently when he bought the place freehold the process had been extremely simple and short and didn’t like this long protracted procedure, we agreed to get our solicitor to ease up on the requirements, The Solicitor, in fairness, was only protecting our interests but perhaps in this case was being a little overzealous. We explained the problem with the VAT, and offered our remedy, it was a worry as it was rather radical, and actually quite obvious, and something of a surprise that the “experts” hadn’t come up with it.
