Hi .
I hope someone will advise how to act next?
We sale agreed on the house last week.
The structural survey was finished and got report yesterday.
First of all - the EA sold us fake information about age of the house.
- instead of about 40 years old the real age is approximately 70 years old!! If we knew we would not go at all for the asking price.
- on the roof two of collar tie ( horizontal timber mid roof) supports the roof have been cut and removed to improve access to the boiler.
- chimney will have to be relined. Limited water ingress through the chimney is occurring and the timber in direct contact with the chimney is partly affected
- a roof light window and it's double glazing is badly cracked
- Did not realized heating boiler is approx 15 year old
- 4 windows must be changed as they not meet safety/ escape regulations
-electric meter is from 1973. Older Thank me even
To be honest, we do not know what to do...pull off, renegotiate price...
No house is perfect and we should know what we are getting yourself in for.
But we don't know....and so stressed
