  • I've had a survey done on an Edwardian house that recommends about £7-£10k of immediate repairs.

    The main ones are repairing parts of the roof (replacing various broken tiles, rather than a new roof); repointing some brickwork; replacing some guttering; new flashings near some guttering.

    Is this par for the course? Is it reasonable to price negotiate on these findings?

  • Once you start touching the roof you may as well replace the entire thing. I’d factor in a new roof cost.

  • Then you just end up with shitty looking concrete tiles...or you stump up for the correct clay tiles and have a humongous bill. You'll have a neat roof though, I guess, which would then be totally at odds with the ramshackle nature of the rest of the frontage, and then you can't stop and....

    If it is just a few cracked / dislodged tiles and there is no evidence of leaking or rot, then you can replace the tiles with reclaims and pray to the roof gods for mercy :)
