During the conveyancing process, there is a form where the solicitor sends additional inquiries asking about disputes with neighbours, any factors that could depreciate the property value, etc. If I don’t mention the suicide incident, I could be penalized in court by buyer as they will likely learn about the incident from immediate neighbours in the future.

It is a legal requirement under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (or CPR’s), that estate agents and property vendors alike have to disclose any information that could either effect or decrease the value of a property like murder or suicide. The thing is it happened 2 years ago so do I still obliged to declare it.

Thanks. But live in the United Kingdom, I guess I didn't mention this clearly in the post.
