We’ve had a few things come up in our survey which weren’t mentioned in the buildings docs or sales info and also had a structural report undertaken which outlines some required work. At this point for these things I would like to take the cost of this work of the house price.
There were some other bits and pieces which came up which I would have expected of a property of this age or which would have been obvious from visiting - these I won’t be looking to do the above with.
Is that a reasonable position to take? I would like this to be an amicable process but equally feel these have a material affect on the price of the property. Looking for some hive mind thoughts. Thanks
Yes that is what a survey is for - anything that you can't reasonably expect to see yourself.
Probably a good time to negotiate down too.
Can be difficult if the owners thought their house was perfect and couldn't possible need all this work.
