Do you honour a guarantee on work when house is sold?

[The Ghost]

Personally I would have gone around to assay the problem, could have been future work. But I am like that! As you say your contract applied to supplied parts only and you did not supply the lights. Further the contract as you say was between you and another party. The new owner has no privity with that contract and cannot therefore rely upon it. In order for a contract to be valid there must be something of value exchanged like you did the work and the lady paid the money. I would have rather said what I would and would not do face to face. But then as you say if the alarm was ringing for nightmare customer, as you were then!

My two penny worth. The contract you had and was paid for, was with the original owner. The new purchaser of the property, would of had any guarantees verified and confirmed by their conveyancing solicitor. Were you contacted by their solicitor to confirm the transfer of your guarantee's or warranty

Ring the CAB and see if they would advise you?

If you didn't supply the lights then surely you cannot have a warrenty on them, usually if you do supply them you can take them back to the wholesaler, in this case you cannot so get the new householder to ring the old householder and ask them to take the light back lol, what a complete farce.

I would be confirming to the new owner that I would be willing to come round and check (as a matter of good will) that the parts I had supplied were not faulty.

If the lights are faulty, then my minimum first hour charge of £50 applies, plus the cost of any parts and / or additional time.
