half the 3s in the report look completely avoidable if the owner had just kept their bloody gutters cleaned and in working order
But as many posts on here show getting trades round to do stuff isn't a 'just' job. I've got a dripping kitchen sink. It could well be easier to move than find a plumber that wants to fix it.

Thanks everyone - in hindsight it feels like one of those things a surveyor will give undue weighting to as an arse-covering exercise - albeit I understand why they do so.
Planning to move the boiler from the back bedroom to the downstairs utility on the other side of the house, so will be fairly major works regardless that might well see us needing a new boiler in any case.
Last bit of my rant today is that it's frustrating that half the 3s in the report look completely avoidable if the owner had just kept their bloody gutters cleaned and in working order... but then again that's why we're paying 205k rather than 270k for one on the same street that's been done up already.
