If the survey throws us something unexpected and major, you could try renegotiating the price. Much depends on whether the surveyors value the house in its current state (even with a major repair) at less than what you agreed to pay for it. If they think the price is fair and in line with the house's condition, it would be harder to renegotiate your offer.0

Offers will taken as being subject to survey unless you state otherwise.
The fact is that nothing is legally binding until you have exchanged contracts so you can try to renegotiate at any point. It is acceptable to try to renegotiate after a disappointing survey, but trying to renegotiate at any other point would be considered as 'gazundering' and frowned upon.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
