how long is a private contract valid for. we bought our house five years ago and the council are now telling us it is totally illegal and they want to demolish it. Can we get our money back from the people we bought it from. Thank you.

Dear Madam,

You mean that you completed before a Notary Public and have the property lodged under your name at the land registry?

Please expand on your query, thank you.
