Yeah. Victorian house so we were aware of some localised damp and potential need for rewiring etc, but apparently there is penetrating damp, leaking roof/chimney, rising damp, and a multitude of other bits, so negotiations are imminent.
Vendor has already committed to a new build and is keen to get this sale done, so fingers crossed we can get the price down a good way.

Ours will be Edwardian (just, 1902) so will be asking the surveyor to not spend too much time on the obvious, non-critical stuff (if that even makes a difference). They extended the ground floor some time ago, but only half the width of it for the kitchen, going to ask them to consider what would be needed to extend the extension across the full width to make an uber kitchen diner with a shower room in the corner.
@Howard I've emailed the seller to check if they can't do any particular times and will then look at arranging. Also wanted to passive aggressively let them know that I've done all my paperwork so it's on them now so our solicitor can crack on with searches etc.

Aye. ms_com's work is picking up massively post maternity and furlough so that decided it for us. I can work anywhere in the UK, but she needs to be near HO.
I'm sure our survey will flag a load, just wondering what is going to be "this will make the house fall down/explode." Anything else like "it all needs replastered/rewired" we're kind of expecting
