Hi,
I have just had a specialist survey done on a flat (built circa 1890)
that my Fiancee and I are trying to buy. He came back to me with;
1) An "active" infestation of woodworm in the roof and floorboards
2) Damp behind a sealed up chimney
3) Damp in a window frame
4) Wet Rot in the bathroom, which they'll need to take the bath out to
fix.
He quoted me =A32800 to fix all of this in a 1er, but how much of this
could I deal with myself (I am o.k. at D.I.Y., but more tenacious than
skilled....), and which points are likely to stop the mortgage going
through? I'd imagine that if there are woodworm, the mortgage
company won't be too happy, so he quoted me a grand for that.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated,=20
cheers,
Jon

Buying a new flat. Should I pay for these repairs? (or are they trying to rob me blind as usual:D)
