Hello all. I'm looking to move house and one of the front runners at
the moment is a bit of a doer upper.
It's obviously the structural side I'm most concerened about. There's
a small patch of damp in one corner of a bedroom so I'm wondering if
this might be a problem with the roof. There's also a crack down the
corner of the front bay window in another bedroom presumably from the
double glazing that's been put in.
Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to buy the place without getting it
checked out, or thinking I can do any of the work myself. I will get a
surveyor in to have a good look but since a thorough survey isn't
likely to be cheap, do you think it would be a good idea to get a
builder or something in to suck their teeth over it?
I'm thinking it might save me a bit of money if the builder just says
"walk away". If he reckons it's worth a closer look, then get a
surveyor in, or has anyone any other thoughts?
Thanks all.
Andy.
