Ramsaye-
they said the work had to be done within 6 months, along with damp proof coursing.
the 6 months isn't up yet. it's up at the end of july.
we aren't getting the damp proof course done. i was quoted £4.5k. it was a shafted gutter which caused all the water to back up and seep into the brick work causing the damp. i've sorted that so it's in the process of drying out. the damp 'expert' didn't even identify the cause. just suggested injection damp proofing and tanking.

amey - ask the mortgage provider if they are willing to lend with a covenant that you will get the roof replaced once you have moved in. not sure whether this will work but we got the home buyers report back which said the roof needed replacing. the mortgage company still lent, valued the place 5k less than what we had accepted, and required the roof to be replaced within 6 months.
