Once people visit your house that is for sale, they are your visitors and they have your license to enter into it, therefore they are treated legally as "visitors". We need to note that you have some responsibilities towards your visitors, but that does not mean that these responsibilities are limitless. In particular if there was an imminent danger then you should have informed your visitors by taking precautionary measures or by informing them orally.
If on the other hand, there is no imminent danger that no reasonable person would realise then you will not be responsible for any injury of the visitor or to take any measures.
Having said the above, we are of opinion that your are not liable for any injury or loss sustained, taking always into account the information provided.
