I was hoping to buy a partially built house but my solicitor has major concerns because the original certification for the foundations is not available. I have been advised the engineer who originally completed the visual inspection at the time of pouring has issues with his insurance & cannot therefore certify. Another engineer has checked bore holes dug and certified that the foundations and ground conditions are suitable for the house. This house is in a housing estate and three of the houses were sold to the council about three years ago. Four others have supposedly had their sales completed in the past few weeks. I do really like this house but obviously need to listen to advice from my solicitor. I'm just wondering if anyone has any input or advice they can offer on the situation.
