My partner also is keen on the idea of chase chase chase. Although things are ticking along fine so I've managed to limit her to one "update" phone call so far.

I got home and it turns out that she had called them again god dammit :')

They gave her some useful info on progress. Turns out that they have been working.

I feel better for knowing re: progress +next steps , but I was aware that things were progressing anyway. Hey ho

Game on :')

The sellers had the house on the market for a year

Enough said.
If it was sought after by other buyer's then I'd ignore the valuation price.
I'd say give it a go but don't lose sleep if they say no

And dreamy 2nd home lyfe

Nice. Stunning views.

Well done!

Let's see it then!

Has flagged high levels of damp on walls

If they used a damp meter thingy aren't these prone to being wildly wrong on walls rather than timber it's designed for?

So perfectly normal walls will show whopping moisture measurements?

I'm no expert but I'd want to see more evidence than that

Accept the offer, shirley

Interesting! I'll drop you a message thank you

Crikey! Blast from the past!
I unfortunately now live 200 odd miles away, but maybe i can make it haha

Oh don't worry I'm sure replacing the roof is gona be a dream :')

The vendors of the place we're buying responded within 24 hours of our request to reduce the asking price in light of the dry rot etc

Agreed to reduce to £220k from £230k. And mortgage company happy to lend us the difference to put towards remedial works.

Surprisingly painless, EA said they were understanding about the situation and obvs weren't aware of it.

So now just to crack on with the conveyancing stuff, buildings insurance then we should be good to go

I'd be happy if it was £8000 all in to replace it, but yeah will have to see if the vendors will be happy to accept less, then get to work finding some quotes etc

Still excited to get cracking but having to replace the roof is not ideal

Gotcha

One page from the survey demonstrating the dry rot

Big house for the cash.thats a big roof and will cost a few Bob to replace - is it in good nick ?

Full structural survey reveals roof slates all present but in poor condition, some evidence of water ingress , poor ventilation (throughout the house but in the loft spaces particularly) and dry rot affecting the rafters (no fungating mushrooms or anything but the wood crumbling away when picked at by hand)

Soo...

The roof pretty much needs replacing basically...

So that was a good shout!

Going to try negotiate down the price in view of that.

Question: Could I take out the same mortgage amount but pay a lower price to the vendor if they agree, and keep the now extra money to carry out the work straight away?

Woop woop! GL man

working nights so im out
