Trying to buy a house but a gas pipework problem was found by Transco. Current owner (now deceased) has a partbuilt conservatory that now encloses the gas meter. It used to be outside. Transco serviced the meter and issued a safety notice about the rising pipe--it is plastic and should have been metal once the meter became enclosed inside the property. And-yes-the plastic pipe is now buried in concrete and the joint below can't be reached without major excavation. Obviously my solicitor is working in the blind (comes with the territory I think) and may screw up the deal. Anyone out there have a good answer. Thanks for your help.
