Hello,
I'm in the process of buying my first property with my boyfriend and need some advice on whether we should proceed or just general thoughts.
The vendor is refusing any visits until exchange of contracts because I wanted an electrician to price up some jobs for me and to make sure the house doesn't need a rewire as the electrics appear to be fairly dated.
We have had our survey but all they come back to say the electrics appear to me in working condition but will require an rcd.
I feel as long as I know about the electrics and if it is going to cost me some money then I'm totally fine with that. But im worried it may need a full rewire and cost me thousands in which I would want to negotiate that with the vendor.
Theres been a few hiccups along the way as there are no building regs on the garage and extension. The main bedroom has a dip in the floor but the ceiling downstairs doesnt appear to bow.
The vendor has agreed to get an electrical test certifcate but I fear his builder son may do this and we know he cuts corners as he built the extension with no regulations.
Would you proceed with the sale based on this information?
Sorry its long but im in two minds and just need some advice.
