Agree about the survey, the way I look at it is that anything that is obvious then you can’t ask for a discount!? if it needs carpeting/flooring/new boiler/windows etc then it takes one look to know this. You knew what you were offering on.
If the survey reveals a dodgy chimney removal/sagging purlins etc then that’s an entirely different matter.Not had any chancers myself but they would have that explained to them if they tried it on.

Counter argument.
If the survey doesnt throw up anything major, I don't think you should renegotiate based on standard home maintenance needs. If you want perfect, buy a new build and enjoy running through snagging.
Question, do people negotiate on new builds or just accept the asking price?
