Anyone fancy playing another game of "how bad is this survey really"?

Had an offer accepted on this house, again in the Welsh valleys, with more garden and garage than we could really afford elsewhere. Doesn't seem as disastrous as last time to my untrained eye but any views would be very welcome.

Worth noting that we've offered at the top of our budget (89% of asking), and with mortgage rates/prices going up and pressure from our landlord we would be in a rough spot if we have to bail, so I'm not sure how clear my judgment is. TIA for your thoughts!

A quick glance left me with the feeling that there is a lot to put right, some of it expensive and disruptive, i.e. evidence of rotting timber in the roof, internal and external joinery being mostly fucked.

Plenty to negotiate on, then, if that's your bag.

Thanks for the feedback - looks like it's gonna have to be our bag given circumstances (buying a house on a single lowish income due to disability is barely possible from what we've learned)
