From my untrained eye I didn't see any issues with the roof or any obvious leakage to the inside. Tbh it's not in terrible condition just old , unloved and smells like dog.
But yeah again if something nasty cropped up on the survey I wouldn't be surprised and we may then have to back out/re-offer

Big house for the cash.thats a big roof and will cost a few Bob to replace - is it in good nick ?
Full structural survey reveals roof slates all present but in poor condition, some evidence of water ingress , poor ventilation (throughout the house but in the loft spaces particularly) and dry rot affecting the rafters (no fungating mushrooms or anything but the wood crumbling away when picked at by hand)
Soo...
The roof pretty much needs replacing basically...
So that was a good shout!
Going to try negotiate down the price in view of that.
Question: Could I take out the same mortgage amount but pay a lower price to the vendor if they agree, and keep the now extra money to carry out the work straight away?
