We are just about to exchange and we find out that the property we are buying has suffered from subsidence (not once, but twice !). The surveyor never picked up on it, so our mortgage got approved - but of course now we are very concerned. This is after all SE London - so we wonder whether this is all very common.
Has anyone in this forum bought / sold properties in SE london which suffered from subsidence. Would you do it again and more importantly, how much of a reduction in the properties market value would you expect? We really love the house and so don't want to pull out just yet. We are considering asking for a price drop - but then how much of a price drop would you expect - 10%, 20%?
