After lengthy communications with someone over a number of days I finally got to the bit in the transaction when the seller gave me the address to collect form. It was in a place called Wallington which is somewhere south of Croydon. After all the negotiations , missed calls etc the item that I was interested in buying was miles away. One of the great things about EDF is the locality thing. If you trade something it's usually with someone a few streets away or 5 minutes in the car, on a few occasions I've bought stuff from acquaintances. The deal fell part as I wasn't willing to drive to Wallington. The seller was a bit miffed as she said she'd turned down offers from other potential buyers. The seller said that she had used EDF for buying and selling when she lived in Clapham and didn't understand my reason for pulling out of the deal, I reckon the round trip would have been a couple of hours. I suggest that

people check where pick ups or drop offs are expected or maybe buyers/sellers could put the first part of their postcode on their ads when they post them.

    • Thanks - going to drop the whole thing now…& put it down  to a bad experience.
    • No, you won’t get your rent back for not having an EPC. I presume you’re thinking of  rent repayment order… you’d have to have evidence of an offence such as illegal eviction, harassment, threat, unlicensed property. None of which you’ve indicated.  I don’t see what the problem is with your situation, certainly nothing substantial. If you have evidence of disrepair (including professional report) and you have to have evidence of informing the landlord as well; you’ve mentioned damp but said it’s not there any more? 
    • Thanks…..still convinced I can get my rent back - not vindictive person but no one treats me this way & gets away with it. Will teach them a good lesson if they get a fine - well two really - much rater have rent back. Yes, will be taking pix - already have one for mould in bedroom - now removed.  
    • Take your own meter readings and properly document the condition of the property when you leave. The LL won’t have a case to claim against your deposit without a sign in inventory. Not having an EPC is largely irrelevant- if you report him he might get a fine but you are unlikely to get compensation.
