  • So 11.59 clanger in the works has appeared.

    Documents through to review last night, great.

    However, upon reading the property I'm in the throws of purchasing has been underpinned in the past. Not knowing anything of this up until this stage should I be concerned about this? The mortgage company have clearly given approval but I'm at a bit of a loss as to why none of this was mentioned before now.

    I'm also being pushed on a completion date that I'm really not happy with. What can I do to push on this?

  • Get some building insurance quotes. If it is straightforward and not a million dollars then no problem. If you find you have to spend hours talking to specialist insurers and the premiums are high you might want to renegotiate or walk.

    You of course need buildings insurance from exchange day so you need to do this bit anyway.

  • If it is straightforward and not a million dollars then no problem.

    I kinda disagree with this. It would not have been hidden if it had no bearing on the property, spendy building insurance or not.

    The least you need to do - along with insurance cost impact - is find out what was done, when and why.
