FTB here, we put an asking price offer in on a house which was accepted. The house was advertised as in need of modernisation (early 90's build) and our building survey recommended getting a boiler report prior to exchanging. Just had a gas safe registered engineer in to inspect and he has condemned it! The position of the flue is incorrect and dangerous, the boiler itself is not combusting properly and emitting fumes within the house. Engineer has stated he would not want to live in a house with that boiler.
Would it be normal to renegotiate on the house price offer? We knew it was a doer upper but had thought from our two viewings this was purely cosmetic (new bathrooms, kitchen etc). Any advice appreciated as we are a bit at sea not having bought before!
