Does anyone have any advice on renegotiating the house price after having your survey completed?
Our surveyor just informed us that there are a few issues, nothing structural, but will have to be fixed to make it livible.
For example, the heating system doesn't even work and will need a new gas boiler. We would probably have to do that almost straight away after moving in - before winter comes along. There are also a few issues with the bathroom which was advertised as newly renovated.
Everyone keeps telling us that we need to try to get money off in light of the issues. I really dont think we will be able to as there were other bidders and we only bid 4k more than the underbidder before they dropped out.
If anything, I feel like we might be able to get maybe a max of 4k, if even. Anything more than that, why wouldn't they just go back to the underbidder? Even 4k I feel like we wouldn't get off because of how the market is. We are buying a second hand house so some issues should be expected I think. Though, the bathroom is not just renovated considering our surveyor told us the toilet doesnt even work.
Do you think we should even bother trying to get the 4k off or is it even worth our time? I don't want to lose the house over it because ultimately the issues can be fixed.
