Hi,

Just moved into a new house after a lengthy contract exchange. During
the time taken from signing for the house, and moving in, the lawn
(which appeared fine when we bought it) had grown to the point where it
was over 30/40cm in height.

After cutting this, and an extensive rain (so the ground shouldn't have
dried out, we are left with the lawn as shown in the attachement.

The large baron/brown patch to the left was like this when the rest of
the lawn was 30/40cm in height, but once all cut to the same height, we
can see more areas of concern.

Can anyone let me know what has happened to it? It looks quite sorry for
itself and I don't know where to start, short of having to re-turf it
all.


Go back to the seller and ask them to fix it. The house you agreed to buy
had a full lawn. Its the same as any other aspect of the house after all you
would not accept half the roof missing when you move in so why accept half
the lawn?
