My husband and I have been looking for a house for a very long time. We found one nice house and we made an offer on it (which was accepted).
However, we found out that there is a small electricity substation behind the garden fence and there might be knotweed too. The area behind the garden is a green footpath that leads to a small park.
We had the emf emissions measured from the substation and they are normal. However, the surveyor said that it might affects saleability.
I am very anxious and haven't slept because of these issues. My husband says there are risks everywhere and we should just go ahead.
So, I have decided to offer about 7% less than what we originally offered in order to take into account of the increased risk. I would have just pulled out but the house is really nice and we are tired of looking.
What is your opinion on this? Am I being unreasonable? Am I mad in seeing risks everywhere or do you think there is a real problem?
I would really appreciate your views, I don't know what to think any more.
Thanks.
