Need some advice re buying my house struggling as it's a minefield!
It's a 3 bed terrace in midlands in a nice area with a good view. One sold last year for 131000 with a larger back garden and no work required.
The house is in a state was on at 125000 and we got 115000 accepted. Then we did a survey and realised there was a lot more work required. An electrician went in to do a check and removed all the fuses as it's so unsafe. Quoted 3.5k for rewire. Also had a damp report showing rising damp. Got a quote for £900 for damp course not including the plastering aspect of it.
It also doesn't have central heating, needs full replaster, new kitchen and new bathroom. I am estimating costs of renovation to be 20000. Would you agree?
I am now thinking no more than 105000. The seller paid 80k in 2011 and has not maintained it, she's actually made it worse.
