We're first time sellers so please be gentle! Our buyer put an offer in at asking price within 24 hrs of house going on the market, which we accepted.
She looked round again last week with her dad and a builder who seems to be a mate of theirs, and today they've said as there's white asbestos in the garage (which we knew about) and in the house roof tiles (which we didn't know about) they want £7k off the asking price to cover the cost of demolishing the garage and replacing the roof tiles - that seems quite high to us but we have no idea how much it actually costs?
Builder confirmed the roof has no leaks so I don't think they could say it was work that urgently needed doing.
Just wondering if anyone has had similar work done recently and how much it cost - it's a 2-bed 1920s semi in the north east.
Thanks

Buyer wants £7k off £125k asking price due to asbestos in roof & garage, is that reasonable?
