6/7 week wait for a survey on the flat I'm hopefully buying ends next week. Excited and nervous.
Had an electrician go round today to check the electrics and do a mini survey (friend of a friend).
All looked fine he said but no RCD protected fuse box and the smoke alarms are all shot. Is that something you'd seek to get a quote for and knock off the price? Whether anything gets raised price wise will be a function of the main survey
Personally I'd say that's kind of thing that should have been factored into your offer (unless there was something explicit to make you think otherwise or the fuse box was locked away or something). Trying to chip away at that kind of thing would just piss me off if I was selling.
