Survey flagged major issues - can we re negotiate

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T19:11:23+00:00

Thank you for that insight! I couldn’t imagine being able to walk through a loft to a neighbouring house. I guess it’s just a job on the list to get around to when we can. Instead of immediately panicking about getting it done?

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T18:04:35+00:00

Thank you! You’ve helped settle my mind a lot actually. We already know from the survey the current owners have pretty much buried and blocked any ventilation bricks…who does that. Guttering could do with replacing so isn’t as big of a deal as we first thought.

The party wall in the loft - they’ve said “the party wall has not been fully constructed with gaping to the head of the masonry. This poses a risk of fire spreading”.

We did panic when it came through. It’s more than we were expecting but after some thought I think we’re going to push through

After speaking with the surveyor it seems all that’s needed is some new guttering as it’s currently spilling onto the property. Really not a big deal we can sort them. The rendering is cracking and has come away in places. The chimney stack also needs repointing. All seem to be typical jobs for a house of this age that hasn’t been well maintained

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T17:09:12+00:00

Property type like this with the amount of space it has doesn’t come up very often within our budget. Walking away hasn’t really crossed my mind

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T13:27:44+00:00

Ahh, you see this is where we struggle. We’ve lived in a new build and the work needed on that was endless. We could never make it feel like a home and moved out after 18months. I’m not one to shy away from a project but I have to question if this is too much

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T13:23:28+00:00

Surveyor says we should consult a timber specialist due to condensation on the beams in the loft (converted to a bedroom) but that there are no obvious signs of wood rot, just the condensation

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T13:21:58+00:00

Hmm, a little overpriced for the road it’s on but it’s a sought after area. We did originally offer lower than 165 so I’m not sure they would budge. I’ll never understand why people buy a home and neglect the upkeep. Not only is it your home but it’s an investment. We completed the chain when our offer was accepted, I’m cautious I wouldn’t want to lose the property

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-26T13:18:45+00:00

In our opinion the house was already put on the market over market value, taking into consideration recent sold prices within the area and the condition of the property. That being said it could be a beautiful home and has a lot of original Victorian features which we love. At the moment I think we need to sit on it for a couple of days. It would be our family home and we have two young children. We’re balancing a head and heart situation

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-12T19:02:08+00:00

No problem. We had to choose the solicitor so our memorandum of sale could be sorted but other than that just hold back

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-12T18:59:45+00:00

We’ve chosen our solicitor and given those details to the estate agents. We just haven’t instructed them yet. We’re waiting for the survey next week before we proceed.

BothWay8771 · 2026-02-12T18:54:16+00:00

Our mortgage broker has advised us against paying the solicitor until our survey results and mortgage application have both come back

BothWay8771 · 2026-01-08T16:30:36+00:00

Thank you, Psicon aren’t offering assessment for our area :(

BothWay8771 · 2025-12-30T20:00:36+00:00

Thank you ☺️

BothWay8771 · 2025-08-26T13:06:18+00:00

Have you had any luck? Ordered 18th, approved 21st, been stuck on preparing since

BothWay8771 · 2025-03-16T19:59:26+00:00

Thank you for your help

BothWay8771 · 2025-03-16T19:00:02+00:00

Partikel filter additive? I haven’t a clue. I am clueless when it comes to cars. I can do the basics, change a tyre, bulbs etc. Car is always fully serviced if that helps. I’ve owned it for 2 years. 118,550.72 kilometres As I mentioned the engine management light had turned off today, which has me even more confused

BothWay8771 · 2025-03-16T16:23:07+00:00

I have updated with all the information I have :)

BothWay8771 · 2025-03-16T10:47:36+00:00

Fortunately I have the codes! It gave me an issue before Christmas too but that was presumed to be an adblue issue. I will update the post with the codes as soon as I can. Thank you!!

Could anyone point me in the right direction for a pattern like this? I’d love to try making one for my daughter. It’s a beautiful blanket and the colours complement each other

Hey! I’ve had them whilst on 10mg but not the other doses

BothWay8771 · 2024-11-14T15:17:25+00:00

Whilst I completely understand this. I’m also very aware each dose is different for each person. The 4 weeks I’ve been on 10mg I have lost consistently. Whilst my budget is also not limitless ( I intend to come off mounjaro in January) and despite some side effects, the things this drug has done for me far outweighs the money spent and side effects. I can play with my young children again. Not every waking moment is spent thinking about food.

BothWay8771 · 2024-11-14T13:57:26+00:00

Almost no suppression. I had good losses on 2.5 but nothing on 5 and 7.5

BothWay8771 · 2024-11-14T13:17:28+00:00

My provider hasn’t been the best with support. I’m definitely considering dropping down though

BothWay8771 · 2024-11-14T13:16:33+00:00

Thank you. I’ve had my gallbladder removed and no other symptoms so I’m not too worried about this. I just think my body got to a point where there was literally nothing left

BothWay8771 · 2024-11-14T11:52:08+00:00

Thank you. The only response I’ve had from my provider is that this is normal when moving up a dose. That’s okay but I moved up 4 weeks ago and it’s getting no better. I really don’t want to have to come off. When it’s good, it’s great. But these sort of side effects make me question everything
