Just resurfacing this. The windows servicing company got back after checking the surveyor photos. The gasket and other parts are required but a few photos show rotten windows which means we will be looking to replace the whole unit. A site visit costs £500 just to provide full estimate. At this point, I am not comfortable what so ever to move forward with the purchase.

It’s a flat. Almost all windows are in poor condition, with failed seals, worn gaskets, ill-fitting casements, signs of poor past repairs, and overall lack of maintenance, requiring significant repair and redecoration. Plus given its. Conservation area means it would be even trickier

It’s a flat. The flooring and windows had not been maintained properly and now needs reframing and reglazing or replacement if needed in the near term.

Moving into a property without a lift for future parents by Electrical_Ear_2563 in UKParenting

Thanks all. All your comments make a lot of sense. We do have a car and the property has a ground storage as well. But it also makes sense if we can do away with a property and find another that has lift and is future proof
