Survey just showed the space listed as dining area is actually a substandard outbuilding which has been converted into this space with thin walls and polycarbonate roof and no building regulation sign off according to sellers, a sign off is not needed because no extension work has been done! The surveyor told me there will be heat loss/gain and it’s not up to habitable standard! Should we walk away ?

Would you walk away from woodworm confined to an extension? Apparently in the roof timbers, surveyor said the house is habitable

I strongly recommend having the survey done I paid for the level 3 survey and when I received the report I escalated to the seller asked for a reduction of the price and subsequently the money that I was borrowing from the mortgage reduced significantly to nearly £7000 this was a smart move definitely advised to have a survey on any old property such as Victorian houses

Thanks How about uneven floor in the utility room?

We are having massive trouble purchasing a property that had been surveyed 14 years ago as a normal cavity wall, 28mm block walls brNow, the new survey it's calling may be PRC orlit construction It has been very confusing how the construction can change in time magically?brCan we have a video showing PRC houses or how to be able to spot one ? brThank you for your videos

What about bamboo which is just as destructive as knotweed
Comment from : @RitaJones-u5y

Will all Level 2 RICs surveys largely give the same result with the same quality? Wondering why there is such a pricing difference in various quotes!

What can i do if my survey was wrong and a house built on the wrong lot
Comment from : @AK2HI

Just had a level 3 survey completed on the house I was buying The surveyor called me to say "I've only said this three times in 5yrsbut you need to walk away" Turned out to be major erosion and subsidence issues which will cost thousands to fix Gutted and back to square one but really glad I got a full survey

"you will need a properly qualified surveyor to do it on your behalfbrThis is not true Whilst generally recommended, this is not a legal requirement

How about radon risk areas?

Hi, I have recently done a survey and the surveyor did not ask any questions about the property but wrote some negative comments afterwards in the home report For example we have put glass balustrade and although it has the legal toughness for glass and it is stamped she wrote something like "there is need to confirm that the glass is within standards" She also took photos of the property with me as well and when I asked her about it she just brushed it off I am not happy with her attitude and the report is it anything I can do? from what I found out she is a contractor so not even the employing company cannot really ask her to change her comments

It's the second time dealing with surveyors and they are just impossible Our real estate recommended a company to do the survey and although we did an extended renovation including landscaping the garden the surveyor put some negative comments all thorough the report I am so upset that we called another company to redo the survey hopefully this goes better

Our buyer pulled out of a sale on the suveyor report They wanted £50,000 off the property due to three red flags on the survey but didn't want share the survey with us so still clueless about what was wrong
Comment from : @g0801215

Our buyer is having a full structure survey done on our 30 year house There is nothing wrong with the house, he's just trying to get the price down
Comment from : @tamar5261

The owner told me he had a DPC done on the property but the survey has listed it as a red flag brbrThe survey is so overwhelming and stressful Like, I don’t know what to do? Most of it makes such little sense to me Agh
Comment from : @DeeTeaDee

Hello I have a question about the fist item on your list - the subsidence Our solicitor's searches revealed there is a potential risk of subsidence in the area However the survey (level 2) stated that there is no evidence of subsidence Should it be evident to start to worry about it and to doubt if we want to purchase the property? Can we ease our mind as survey did not reveal one, or is it better to employ constructional engineer to make sure that it is actually ok Is there a chance that engineer will say also - "well I can't see any evidence of it"?
Comment from : @Onlichka

I just pulled out of a flat purchase following a building survey (red flagged issues: roof needing replacement, asbestos removal, window replacement, boiler replacement, etc, etc) I feel terrible for pulling out because I didn't want to waste the vendor's time, but I simply cannot take on the costs of rectifying these issues on top of the purchase price
Comment from : @Afrinaturality

hello Phil, thanks for sharing want to check if it is OK to buy a underpined mid-terraced house? it was down 30 years ago and a recent building survey doesn't see any futlrther structural issues the seller says the house now is more stable than othose that are not underpined, I can appreciate this but not sure how this is going to affect a re-sale and its market value thanks in advance

I'm concerned about asbestos In the late 1970s bungalow we're buying is it possible to buy a 1970s house that's not full of asbestos

Hi phill if I pay for a surveyor to help me purchase a house and it falls through can I use him again or do you have to pay every time,, thanks mate dave,,,,,
Comment from : @davidrankin3890

Hi I am a first time buyer just got an offer accepted on a purpose build flat property is 30 years old I am just not sure if I need survey? The agency that sells the property said don't bother because the property is only 30 years old however I know that they are trying to get the property sold 🤣 but my mortgage advisor also said I wouldn't bother on 30 years old property Any advice? Has anyone bought a purpose build flat and used survey? Any information will be helpful thank you
Comment from : @sunaymilanov2516

We recently walked away from a property after the inspection because a few of these reasons A 115 yr old boiler (yes, one HUNDRED and fifteen years old!) with asbestos covered pipes leading to it, old knob & tube wiring that the insurance companies said they would not insure, and a few other smaller issues like small leaks in the roof All of that added up to a big NO from us and we cancelled our contract, especially since the seller was unwilling to fix or budge on the price
Comment from : @Chuckbobuck201

I have received the flooding and mining report and the main issues to highlight are as follows: brbr• the property is assessed to have potential for natural or non-natural ground subsidence and an area that may be affected by surface or sub-surface coal mining brbr• the search has also indicated that there is a moderate risk of Surface Water flooding brbrAny advice
Comment from : @shvlogs2261

Is it worth doing an asbestos survey ?
Comment from : @traveljournawithfamily

We’re first time buyers and given this market it’s taken us 18 months to finally get an offer accepted Just had our survey done so this video was extremely helpful!
Comment from : @markwoods7471

This is a very helpful video Thank you for this
Comment from : @freespiritdamsel

This is a very helpful video I'm in the process of getting new property The last property I had a survey done it revealed there was movement in the property, it wanted re-wiring and asbestos removing I pulled out as you can imagine brbrHopefully this one won't need much doing to it
Comment from : @Odinfatherofall

Thanks Phil! Very useful, going to speak to my vendor today about a survey I have recently had completed Really hope she’s willing to compromise, not looking forward to this conversation at all issues are some verge repair to the gable end, glazing issues and the dreaded artex roof - but in fairness if not disturbed the surveyor has been kind enough to point out that it really isn’t a game changer as long as it’s either covered up or left alone

Thank you !

My daughter had a survey and within the survey the surveyor wrote the roof membrane was breathable but we had to replace it after we found it wasn’t by replacing roofDo we have a case to get our expense back?

Just had a survey on a property built around 1900, quite a lot of damp It appears the DPC has been bridged a great deal Might removing the built up ground around the house help erase some of this?
Comment from : @cyclefrenzy6713

Just had an Homebuyers report carried out on a 1930's house It came back stating 7 out of the 10 reasons given in this video needed immediate attention; potential underpinning, substandard conservatory, "amateurish electrical installation", loft conversion not fire safe and shouldn't be used under any circumstance, chimney alterations carried out that could affect structural integrity, sub surface damp The list went on! I would never buy an house without a survey Sure it's cost us around £1000 with solicitor/surveyor fees but rather spend that than be faced with a bill to put all that stuff right in the future
