This is all quite timely.
We found out yesterday our chain is complete at last, so have told solicitors to crack on with enquiries and are going through the survey again now in order to sort out quotes for the bigger stuff.
The survey pointed to a couple of missing/slipped tiles that have resulted in some water coming through and staining a bit of ceiling below. That back section of roof also may need new felt.
They’ve flagged the electrics as needing a safety check as they are dated (I know nothing about electrics, but doesn’t have a modern board with trip switches - I have pics if anyone is good with this stuff?). Lastly, the garage shows some signs of movement and may need a small section being rebuilt.
Once I have quotes I’ll need to decide whether we need to discuss price or ask to get stuff looked at before moving.
Of that list, what are people’s thoughts? Definitely worthy of price negotiations or swallow the costs? The vendors accepted our offer slightly below asking, but not by much. The electrics and the stained ceiling we clocked when viewing, but not the tiles or garage issue.
