The house has been on the market since September 2013 (that's not a typo!) We know the reasons for this and still want it. However it's been empty for around 14 months, it obviously has someone looking afyer it regularly as it's in really good condition, immiculate throughout, no cobwebs, no junk mail (we arrived before EA) I'm just trying to come up with all the expensive problems there might be because of this.
For example the heating hasn't been turned on in that time, it's a very cold area (windows were frozen when we looked at it) so some heating or waterpipes may need replacing of cracked.
Can anyone else think of any other potentially disastrous and costly things that could go wrong because the house has been empty?
(Just to be clear, were not trying to knock any money off because of these hypothetical reasons, but I want to put a contingency budget in palace)
