  • They all looked at the google map and listing pics and all told me it's solid brick

    Looking at the pic in the link above you can actually see headers (end on bricks) every fifth course, most obviously between the two bay windows, so it is solid I think. The bay window doesn’t have them, so will be single, but that’s common.

    Crack on and get it bought!

    Textured ceilings will often have asbestos in. It wasn’t banned until 1999 though I think stopped being in Artex in the 80s. Testing is the only way to know.

    Survey-wise I’d do nothing at all and rely on individual builder / electric / asbestos / gas / drain etc checks or go level 3. It’s 70 years old and will have been updated to various standards at various stages, I think level 2 works best on <30 year old houses that are broadly as-built.
