Thousands of homeowners warned they'll face £100k fine if they ignore key rule
Homeowners in the UK are being made aware of a property rule that can result in a hefty £100,000 fine if ignored. Around half a million homes in the country are said to need costly work doing to them to ensure they comply with an Environment Agency rule, but many people aren't aware that the regulation exists.

"However, many conveyancers aren’t aware of the regulations themselves, leaving buyers and sellers at risk of unexpected upgrade costs, a reduction in their property value, or even a potential £100,000 fine from the Environment Agency." Tony Hill, Head of Professional Negligence at Been Let Down explains: “This is a growing issue, and something that we believe more homeowners need to be made aware of.
"For those affected, typically a claim must be made within six years of purchase of the property with a defective tank.
