OK, so this is the scenario.
A flat with separate garage is sold in 2010. In 2023, the people who bought the flat in 2010 are trying to sell. Surveys reveal that the garage wasn't sold - i.e. ownership remained with the people who sold in 2010 even though they thought they'd sold flat and garage. The solicitors for those trying to sell the flat get in touch to say, this is still owned by the original sellers and ownership needs to be transferred to allow the current owners to sell.
All clear?
SO:
If you were the people who owned the garage, what would you do next?
1) Sell the garage to the existing owners/potential buyers for the current market value?
2) Show goodwill and allow the sale to go through with some possible small compensation?
3) Do it for free?
4) Something else?
