Surveyor assessed that the ground floor of the semi detached house built before 1920's is in perfect order but the whole first floor walls are single skinned walls. I didn't have much clue about it and went on internet and came across various scary posts. We loved this house as it has lot of potential and RBS is happy to lend the money as well. My only question if anyone can answer is can any builder demolish the walls of first floor bit by bit and replace it with solid walls within regulations. I know it will cost money but I think shouldn't cost more than £20000 which is worth spending on this house. Any suggestions welcome.
You woudn't happen to know why surveyor RBS used for their valuation would you?0
