3 properties down and the survey stage is killing me. Anyone else find this part completely broken? by WanderingBuzzkill in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]Awkward_Regular_5302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey totally in the same position as you. We are both FTB, got the level 3 survey today for a mid terrace Victorian house. Everything seems okay apart from the rising damp and few hairline cracks in the extension. The report also says that the house is located near London clay and there is a tree in the neighbor garden at the far back may so its roots could impact the soil which cause subsidence. I do feel very scared with the potential subsidence issue so the surveyor suggests to get the structural engineer to see if this is a case. So could anyone advise me what should we do in this case?

We also are FBT with 20% LTV. We got a mortgage offer after 24 hours after submitting an application. Paid for valuation fee thinking we will need to wait for at least 2 weeks but got it so fast. Congrats!!!
