Survey Results help

sneakyg

Hi I have just had my first survey back and the main concerns are as follows:

rainwater fittings - repair/renew the rainwater fittings
external joinery - repair/replace the rood edge
external decoration - redecorate the roof edge timbers

can any one shed any light on if these are common things that they make remarks about and any cost implications

any help would be good.

thanks

They're easy to deal with, and if that's all which is showing up, it's not much!
However, the type & value of the house and the kind of survey would all be useful contexts to add.

Its a purpose built maisonette in a two storey detatched maisonettes built in around 1960.

I had a homebuyers survey and its priced at £175.000


Any ideas of the costs involved?

Gosh, no! I usually do my own/get a family member to do things. Last guttering/fascias I had was 20 years ago. I'd go upvc myself. About a day's work I'd say for a specialist.

You could try sites like My Hammer for rough estimates:

or maybe this one:

or maybe ask on the DIY section of this forum.

Leasehold? If so isn't it the responsibility of the freeholder / management company?

Theirs no service charge, just ground rent, unsure if any buildings insurance would cover this?
