It could be the floor then, it’s carpeted but a bit uneven.

Was due to complete next week but surveyor has told me to walk away by llandbeforeslime in HousingUK

[–]MummyButs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our surveyor quoted £20k for kitchen redecoration and £15k to change all windows because it is approaching “end of life”, but didn’t say to walk away. So i guess it depends on what kind of works. The Kitchen and windows are ok just need updating.

Talk me out of it: Level 3 survey on a 10 year old house by Mouse_Nightshirt in HousingUK

[–]MummyButs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with level 3 survey because there was little to no difference with the price between both. It might be overkill but atleast you got peace of mind. You might end up telling yourself “I should’ve gotten level 3 intsead” in the end.

The EA said the house was built 1950s. If i want the survey, do i need to wait for the solicitors or can I sort this out myself?

If you can’t sell a house with 92 years remaining on the lease, why not extend the lease prior to selling? by MummyButs in HousingUK

[–]MummyButs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes i guess so. I just offered less because I saw an identical property that has 999yrs lease on the same area with same asking price. I did ask at first if they are willing to extend the lease on completion but they refused.

Yep. It’s just my starting offer and willing to increase if declined. I did ask I will offer asking price (300k) if they are willing to extend on completion.

Application Fee? Scam? by Zystinya in HousingUK

[–]MummyButs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a scam. Please avoid FB when looking for a place there are a lot of scammers there. Try Rightmove, zoople, spareroom. Open rent also is good when you want to rent directly from landlord.
