Just has a valuation done on a property we're buying, and it says:
"Slight bulging of brickwork was noted above the kitchen window frame. Whilst the movement is considered to be historic, pinning back the brickwork should be undertaken" I can't remember seeing this when we viewed the property, and can't make it out on the plethora of digi-photos we took as we went round (which is a Really Useful buyer's tip by the way!! - ). Doesn't sound too awful, but what's involved in 'pinning back' as the guy recommends? DIY-able? The loan is not dependent on it. Not sure what the wall structure is but the house is a circa 1900 mid-terrace. Would it just involve hacking out the damaged area and replacing it? (I'm sure there will be plenty more posts from this direction once we take possession, as there's a lot to do!) Thanks David |
