Thank you. Can I just clarify the below statement please?
"I wouldn't buy this defective house, that's my sound advice."
I am thinking of walking away. I am going to assume NHBC will not do anything and I'll have to arrange repairs myself.
But if I were to maybe get £3,000 off the asking price - based on surveyor costing the roof repair at £1,000 and then I reserve maybe £2,000 for the hassle and cost of lowering the ground (front of house only) and re-pointing some brickwork, would you still advise against us?
Would you still advise to walk away because you think the potential damage already done or likelihood of more defects being found in the future in this house type is high?
I know I am keen on the house and finding it difficult to walk away, but before I do I just wanted to explore my options.
