what are your experiences with sale of house?good bad otherwise?My olds house on the market,sort of been sold to couple that live in Oz,who,having seen the survey wish price reduced by £150,000,the agents not v.helpful
Assuming it is £15k, are you happy with this offer, are they a cash buyer, do they need/want to relocate to UK before finalising deal? How patient are you willing to be if they want to hang about?
It's half a large victorian house,bought 50 years ago for £10,000,sinse been listed, by some prat,due to a posh architect.was bought to use as business which didn't take off
What details included in the survey are they using to batter the price down?
Your Agent must ask the purchasers to provide these details and pass them on to you.
There would need to be 'fundamental' problems with a property to warrant such a reduction.........a bit of 'titivation', etc. does not fall into that bracket.
Go and see a Structural Surveyor yourself and ask him to prepare a report. He will be able to advise just what is and is not a cause for concern and can be disregarded from the 'purchase' survey.
