I'm in the process of buying a flat (FTB). The vendor made me aware when I put the offer in that the management company would want money up front to pay for planned work which I could afford although it was quite a chunk out of my savings. I've had a damp report done following my survey and there is 6k worth of work needing doing to fix internal damp (there's no way I can afford to pay that). I have another quote due in for something else as well so could potentially be more. The flat was already going to, not exactly stretch me, but I would have to cut back on luxuries to live there. Is it worth asking the vendor to pay for the work to be done or should I just walk away considering there could be more work in future and my saving capability won't be that high (maybe 100 a month into savings)
