Hello,
Have recieved the structural survey report on (second hand) house we are to purchase. If there are some issues which have arisen from this report what is the normal procedure from here? Is the report submitted to the vendors estate agent? Is vendor compelled to address any problems/faults? Most of the points are minor but one or two are more serious e.g. ...'some timber work which is fixed directly to the chimney. This is a breach of building regulations as there should be minimum of 40mm between the wood and chimney. The gable ladder of the timber frame does not appear to be strapped correctly in accordance with the building regulations.....'
Thanks....
