Went for a second viewing with the intention of putting in a significantly higher offer, we shall be running the fuck away. The original estate agent wasn't around so we got his college, and thank fuck she was there and actually had some answers.
After assuring me there was central heating (I know I should have checked properly the first time but I'm new to this) turns out there isn't anything. After I asked if any major works had been done recently or were due to happen soon he told me he didn't know. Then when I turn up this morning there's fucking scaffolding going up. After asking him why it's cash buy only and being told it was because the vendor wanted a quick sale, turns out the whole block is concrete and is totally un-mortgageable (I was fooled by some brick cladding on the front).
Fucking cunts.
Lessons learned though and no money lost, the search continues...
