Mr Balchin. I raised your point earlier and observed that for the present the horse might not run. But in these days of non professional free for alls this may change.

May I suggest asking the seller’s agent to confirm that they are wholly satisfied that he is the real deal. Adding if they refuse to answer an inference will be drawn: which shows that you’re relying on it.

Telling your client the answer may, either way, act as your defence.
