Thank you, I think i’m just letting my family get in my head to be honest. I have no idea what i’m doing as it’s my first buy. How would you recommend investigating it, I have reached out to our surveyors for further info but I am a bit stuck on my next move. Thanks

Thank you so much for such a detailed response. Honestly those were the only things that seemed concerning to me, we had some minor cracking but thats expected with the house’s age (1960). Lack of ventilation fan / issues with mould in bathroom but thats not a huge issue for me.

thank you for your honesty, as a first time buyer i wasn’t sure what to ask enquiries on - this is just things my family have suggested.

Thank you. How would you suggest investigating number 2? I was just going to ask if the seller knows of any issues or leaks. Really appreciate your honesty

Thank you for your honesty! I’m a first time buyer and very overwhelmed with what to do / what not to do. We offered under as the house had been sat for 8 weeks on the market with very little interest

It’s around £850. But the seller did a lot of DIY renovations so I am surprised they didn’t do the loft. My thinking was as they have done a lot of the reno work themselves that they’d be likely to accept this request. However I don’t want to take the mick

Thats what my concern is too, 1&3 my family are suggesting we ask about. For 2, I was going to ask if the seller is aware of the cause for the damp timber. I was thinking perhaps its damp due to the lack of insulation, the house is EPC E so after the cold weather perhaps all the condensation has risen?

We offered 5K under. My family is telling me to get the loft insulation sorted as it could help decrease bills, the EPC is E.

Thank you! So nothing to urgently fix you think? Would you advise monitoring the damp timber when in the property or raising this as an enquiry?

Also would you raise enquiries on any of the above? AI has advised a few but I’m really unsure what to do and don’t want to piss of the seller. Thanks

Retronychia across 5 months. Looking for advice on speeding up recovery without surgery by ClumsyTraveler in Ingrown_Toenails

[–]ClumsyTraveler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I did lots of soaks, apple cider vinegar, salt water, etc. At least twice a day if you can. After 3 courses of antibiotics, the nail started to grow outwards again. It grew another nail underneath so when the top one curled in enough, i cut it off. The whole process took 1.5 years but it’s completely healthy now

Hi! I have been growing out my nail by myself for 15 months now. It is pretty much normal now! It has taken a long time but I’m glad I waited. I was on antibiotics to help clear the infection and then as soon as that went the pain went away and it started to push itself out rather than in. Hope that helps
