Hi all,
I hope someone can help me, we've found a gorgeous property that we love in the perfect area.
We agreed a price (the sellers came down considerably from their original asking price, over 10%), and started the mortgage process.
The property is fairly unique, grade 2 listed, but other (larger) properties in the same complex have been sold at higher prices, for their original asking price.
The mortgage surveyor has downgraded the price by a considerable sum, which basically means that we can't afford to buy the property (I'm not asking the seller to come down further, it wouldn't be fair and it isn't right - the house is definitely worth what we've agreed to pay, in fact we're getting a bargain).
We're getting a second survey (the vendors are paying half), but do we have any comeback against the original surveyor, I want to see his comparables etc but I'm told by his firm that he doesn't have to provide anything over the valuation.
This is setting us back and costing us money, I'm really unhappy about it.
I hope this makes sense, hopefully someone can advise.
