My son has made an offer on a house, price agreed and Surveyors report received.
There are issues highlighted in Surveyors report, some minor and a few causing concern ( eg party wall with adjoining house, in attic roof-space not fully built up to roof line, extra bracing needed in attic etc)
My question is about what to do next?
Do you go to the Auctioneer and ask the vendor to fix these before proceeding to contract.
Do you get an Architect to get cost of fixing these items and then suggest the price is lowered accordingly.
Should I send the Surveyor report on to Auctioneer, for vendor attention..
Do I go direct to Auctioneer myself, or should we be communicating thru solicitor, I am not sure?
Would appreciate any advice on how to proceed, and the best way to handle this.
My son wants to buy the house, he is happy with price, he paid a bit over asking on the basis that it was all ready to move in, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
