Hi.

Last year, our apartment had a water leak from outside. Owners corporation organised repairs which have left a chemical smell, still lingering after 4 months. If the apartment windows are open it is not noticeable, only when closed up.

We have purchased an off the plan apartment which will settle in April next year. We want to sell our current apartment early next year. If we sell and the new owner only discovers the smell after settlement could this cause any issues for us?
