Areas of Law / Consumer Law

We recently bought an oil-fired combined cooker and central heating boiler. We were concerned that it would be noisy, but went ahead with the purchase after the manager of the shop gave us a demonstration in the showroom. When the cooker was installed it was so noisy we went back to the shop, only to discover that the demonstration model was gas-fired! Do we have any right to ask them to change the cooker?

You may well have a claim for misrepresentation. Write to the manager immediately telling him you are rejecting the unit and give him the opportunity of replacing it with a quieter model. If he refuses to do this you should see a solicitor. It sounds as though you would have a good chance of winning either compensation or your money back.
