Just seen a house thats been a bit longer than usual on rightmove in the area I'm looking - nice 2-3 bed terraces sell like hot cakes there right now. It's a bit higher than my top budget so I didn't see it before.
Then I saw the catch - staircase from the main bedroom to the loft room which they call 'occasional room' yet house is liste das 3-bed.
Never seen that before actually, as staircase is at the end/corner of the bedroom that is over the passegeway with no door (but carpeted proper one, not a flimsy type). As far as I can see on photos, there is no door in the loft room where it leads to.
I can see that may people wouldn't like it in terms of walking through a bedroom, but is this againstt he rules and potenatially a huge headache / delays with lawyers / would need indemnity?
It would actually suit me as there is a private bedroom two, which is just ok size on the 1st floor, AND I'm hoping there may be a discount for that as this far I've been outbid on every house.
Yet really don;t want to pay for surveyor just to find out it's wrong - I can't afford to pay two lots of survey fees if I have to pull out!
Thanks in advance if anyone can advise on this!
