Help! My house is falling down!

[expatinscotland]

Anyone who's dipshit enough to buy a £250,000, 18th century house without bothering to do a structural survey before purchase deserves a swift kick in the jacksie, not help from a show.

What a pair of dumbasses.

Tempted to turn over as these people don't deserve a jot of sympathy, much less bailed out.

I don't blame Sarah, though. She's a clever clogs.

Missed that bit, what a pair of plonkers.

Yeah. No structural survey. More money than sense.

I had a full survey on my 1960's house.

Those people are beyond daft.

This gal gets more and more stoopid as it goes on. 'It's really frustrating to live like this.'

Oh, fuck off, dumbass!

They're both brain donors.

Is she pregnant AGAIN??

He's a lazy arse as well. Didn't want to be 'tied up' every weekend pointing his own fucking house, but doesn't have the money to pay for it. So guess what, tough shit, lazy arse!

Oh, he didn't want to do a lot of DIY, either.

But was fool arse enough to buy a 300-year-old house.

These people are too fucking brain dead to have been granted a mortgage.

Why on Earth did a mortgage company give them a mortgage?

Yes, when it's obvious they had no structural survey.

Gah, they're dumb.

Just what I was thinking - I'm amazed they got a mortgage/

Agree they are stupid fuckers!the previous owner saw them coming!

Who would buy a house with an internal well without a survey

Who would buy a house with an internal well at all?

smallorange that's exactly what I just said to my DH...she must have about 10 kids

They're very lucky to be getting all these free surveys they were too damn stupid and cheap not to have done in the first place.

Sarah has 4 sons now.

This guy just wants something for nothing.

Masonary Bees?

What the hell are they?

He is a lazy sod isn't he?

What did he expect? An old house that doesn't need constant maintenance? He's even more brain dead than I thought! Old houses, all of them, need constant maintenance. I mean, duh! Every house does!

We rented a 130-year-old house that had been kept in excellent nick by our friend and landlord.

Still, in the 2 years we rented it, he had to spend £2000 on the old drains, have the roof re-lined, get a wasp exterminator out, replace some of the wiring, vent an old chimney.

When he came home, he completely modernised it, doing loads of the work himself.

It cost about £50,000.

I mean, it's an old house!

I wonder who said let's buy it, we don't need a survey, can't make up my mind.

Lemme guess? Her dumb ass.

I am blaming him.

She had a 'dream' of living in a period house.
