I'm at my wits end...trying to 'PM' a house move with a 6 week old reflux baby who had German Measles last week and a 23 month old. I am clearly a glutton for punishment.
I've bought before, 5 years ago and a new build which whilst took 3 months was relatively straightforward as we managed to buy one from a local builder who lived around the corner so it was in his interest to do the job properly and keep us on side. Aside from this, I had my darling DF helping and giving me advice all the way. Unfortunately he died suddenly in the spring. I'm really lost without him on so many levels, DM not dealing with it well which i understand. I'm moving to be nearer to her.
We've sold and are No. 2 in a chain of 4. Our buyers have completed and have moved into a holiday let waiting for us. We've offered on a property in a desirable area. I had a Home buyers survey done last week and its come up that there isn't a door between the conservatory and the dining room which the vendors had fitted. This is against building regs and will mean Ill lose lots of heat in the house.
They have a partly converted one half of the double garage which doesn't have an external window only an internal window into the other unconverted garage. This isn't fire proof apparently and is also against building regs.
My solicitor is crap. I can't get hold of them and the EAs are talking about exchanging.
The boiler is apparently inefficient as its the original one but is regularly serviced.
I'm not happy with these issues, we are paying a good amount for the property and offered asking price to secure it but now I'm thinking if i knew about these issues I maybe wouldn't have offered so much.....
WWYD? Do I speak to the vendors EA and ask them to get a quote for the conservatory doors and then ask for this to be deducted from the asking price? Is it my responsibility to get a quote? Do I do nothing? Do I ask to be met half way?
