  • Ok, for someone that is not confident looking at houses, and wants someone to come and look at it… how much?

  • I wish we had got a builder to have a look round as well as the survey. Survey to tick boxes, builder to tell us more realistically how much work was needed, when and for how much. That all depends on having a builder you trust though and that you would use for most of the big work.

  • Yeah, I have a friend of a friend that is a builder. He has already been around for a look as the bathroom needs changing around and the kitchen is very 'vintage'...

    @Sumo I am considering those things as 'sold as seen'. I cant think what else your buyer might want fixing. It isn't rented accomodation!

    I agree with this. I think a "full structural survey" (whatever that means) is more likely to give you false confidence than uncover some terrible issue that would have been a nightmare to sort.

    A tenner says that there is not a single private purchaser in England who's got a builder, who isn't family or friend, to go over a prospective house in 2022.
