Pros:
Perfect area for us
Great potential, large and not unreasonably priced considering the area and size versus work required m. It’s probably £75k less than “done” houses on the street
We got our mortgage offer in before rate rises so have a great rate which makes extra borrowing for refurb affordable
BUT, we have found out a lot through the survey:
kitchen extension doesn’t have building regs and will need full blown replacement in a few years
rebuild will be compromised by a manhole cover
chimney breasts have been removed and no supports in place
upstairs bathroom needs replacing asap
leaky plumbing in the downstairs shower room causing damp.
surveyor unable to inspect floorboard joists under laminate flooring
outbuilding in garden needs demolition
everything has been done so shoddily we can’t rule out finding something else.
