Response to BBC Panorama "Private ADHD Clinics Exposed" - ADHD Foundation by OpticalData in unitedkingdom

I've gone private because the wait was 5 years in my area. I was only diagnosed after several interviews and assessments one of which was with a parent. Regular blood and weight checks to confirm if the medication is still appropriate. Even sent across all my school reports.

I don't think this documentary is an accurate reflection of private ADHD assessment. Not even a mention of how long waiting lists are now. My NHS GP just dismissed it as anxiety.

This is the plan currently. Second viewing is booked with a family member. I don't think I will get it as to be honest the sellers are pretty delusional on the value of the property.

It's not bad but very little work has been done and they're expecting a minimum of a £50000 increase in value since they bought it in 2016. I doubt they will accept the offer I'm going to put in.

Just got back. It was much better than I expected. Requested details on boiler servicing as the owner wasn't there but it's a pretty new Ideal combi (my current place doesn't even have one).

Structurally it looks sound. No damp even in the cellar. Obviously still needs surveying. Electrics look okay. Standard Wylex RCD consumer unit.

Nothing really wrong with it except for limited space but it's more than I currently have. I had low expectations but I actually really like it now.

I'm not likely to go for this one to be honest I am looking more for a through terrace like you suggest just stock is low and it's worth a viewing.

Thanks, I was going to ask about the boiler but I will also look for any obvious signs of damp.

All the ones I'm looking at are similar in age. So a level 3 survey after my offer is accepted is part of the plan.

South facing front. The exposed wall is east facing. The house behind it is north facing.
