  • @Howard There is a damp and timber report from the buyers who pulled out, and then a structural report which looks to have been commissioned by the landlord (different name, surveyor did a survey on it when the landlord bought it 13 years ago).

    -roof needs work
    -gutters need replacing
    -not sure where the gutter links to at the front, maybe in to the foundations
    -cracks in the rear rendering
    -no 77 loft conversion protrudes through the party wall
    -front wall distorted leaning 30mm to the right of the bay
    -the bathroom (which is the downstairs extension) isn't ventilated right
    -needs some air bricks (subfloor ventilation is inadequate)
    -chimneys need maintenance, rain penetrates at the base
    -wall fractures
    -odd bits of damp
    -was only like one socket in each room

  • Mmm. Some chunky stuff there. The potential for the flooring and supports to be rotting / infested would worry me the most.

  • Pics are definitely daunting. Not bought a house before or got anything to compare to, so really hard to benchmark or come to a view, or put a number on repairing it
