Apparently the survey on our place went fine, but the survey on the place we want to buy has thrown up a few issues that might be quite expensive, e.g.
- The need for a new fuseboard (definitely) and a rewire (probably)
- Damp in the kitchen which means a DPC is probably necessary
- Some repairs to the roof
- Wet rot in a bay window meaning a replacement is probably necessary (though this is not listed as an essential repair)
If the vendors tell us to jog on it might put the place out of our budget.

This is quite annoying.

I lasted nearly 10 years before replacing the windows that were highlighted in my survey.

Admittedly the repairs went from rot hardener and filler at the start to duck tape at the end so it ended up being fairly vital.
