Curious what extra they're asking now they've done the work.
Any idea if they bought it to do up and flip or if circumstances just changed?

It's about +30% of what they paid in 2019, but the price we are paying is inline with similar houses in the street sold in past 6-12 months, but this is in much better shape due to works.
Agent said change in circumstances, but I presume they bought it to flip. Strange thing is they haven't scrimped as you would expect a developer to do it's all well thought out and to a good standard, painting isn't great but we will be re-decorating every room anyway.

We've had an offer accepted on a two bed Victorian house, it was bought by the current owner in late 2019, it's been completely refurbished back to brick in 2020 to a good standard, new windows, doors, kitchen, bathroom, reinstated fireplaces, all plasterwork redone, new electrics and DB board (signed off Oct 2020), new boiler and heating system (there wasn't central heating previously).
All external brickwork is good, roof looks fine, and on my next visit will be taking a ladder to get in the loft and take a proper look from the inside.
Am I absolutely mad not getting a full survey, it feels like a waste of money, but am I just being a bit daft on such a purchase?
