Sold my house but worried about survey

perrinos

Hi I have managed to get a decent offer on my house which we have accepted but I am now panicking about the survey. We don't know what level of survey the buyer are going to have yet but I have doing my husbands head in by constantly worrying what's going to be picked up. Basically we own a victorian semi, I know there is a problem with the damp course, ie it has been bridged by rising soil levels and think we may have some rising damp, also we have had some bad condensation in the loft. Do you think these problems will really put the buyers off, should we do something about them before the survey or just sit tight and see what happens?

Any tips or advice truely appreciated!

Probably too late to fix things before a survey. We had one terrible survey on ours that made the sale fall through, while the next on the same house sailed through with no problems. The only advice I would give is leave the surveyor to get on with his job, and don't try to cover anything up.

You will probably just have to negotiate on your price or sort the problems out yourself

Surely damp (as long as it not so bad) can be stopped pretty quickly without mych cost
