We looked at a house this morning and there are cosmetic issues (repossession) including carpets, walls, absolutely reeking of smoke and the garden, but I also noticed some water damage to one of the ceilings. Neither of us has bought a house before but when I asked the other day someone kindly explained the stages and said the next step would be a surveyor.
How do we go about finding a good one please - can anyone recommend someone in/near Durham? - and how much does it cost? There is an offer already on the house which is pretty high considering (IMO - looking at other houses in the street that are in better nick) so DP doesn't want to offer over the odds just because there is time pressure. Estate agents say they are desperate to get more for the house so they are packing in viewings today despite taking it off rightmove yesterday.
Any help appreciated :)
