What to do?

[Mimosa20]

My buyers pulled out last minute due to a bulging flank wall on my Victorian end terrace which I’ve had for 2,5 years (need to upsize). When I purchased the property the same potential issue arised and I had a structural engineer (recommended by the estate agent) coming to assess. His statement was reassuring for me to buy, nothing indicating a structural problem.

My buyers surveillor on the other hand states the wall needs rebuilding and will cost £80.000! So my buyers pulled out and we are losing the dream home we wanted to buy.

So here a sit with a massive dilemma, furious and unable to trust anyone. I will have another engineer come to look at the wall for yet another opinion.

What should I do?

£80,000 to rebuild a wall !!!!!! I couldn’t comment on the size of the job but assuming most of it would be labour removing and rebuilding, it sounds a lot . I think it would put most potential buyers off to be honest.
Just get a structural engineer round and go from there.
Bum deal......... keep that chin up 👍

I’m not sure what she’s basing her estimate on but feels excessive regardless. Having had a search I see similar problems are fixed for £10-20.000..

The wall is just a standard end terrace!

It’s terrifying however how two structural engineers can have such opposite opinions about the condition of a property!! Makes me sad.

Curious to know what happened in the end @Mimosa20 - any update?
