Hi, I've 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'm o.k. at D.I.Y., but more tenacious than skilled....), and which points are likely to stop the mortgage going through? I would 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
