Thanks we ware planning to send a surveyor in next few weeks,anyway.
If you know anyone good and affordable in Cambridshire area please post. Should we let the agent know about the roof problems we spotted before and await some action response from the owners? or it's better to wait for a full survey?

Why are you going to prevaricate for a few more weeks? Why can you afford to pay out as couple of grand on painting doors but you aren't willing to spend £425 on making sure the house isn't a write off? Why do you think the outgoings owners will care enough that the roof is leaking to do a proper repair?

Ideally would like to renegotiate the price offered before and do the work ourselves, but we know this might be difficult. As the owner was saying that they can't sell for less? Not sure if this is true. They bought it from council few years back for 60k selling for almost 120k, now? I think they very keen to sell as the property is vacant.

I think we would be in a better position to renegotiate in few weeks. Especially if the building survey report we going to do will find anything else needed attention. I think they might be able to change their mind faster closer to exchange , completion date let me know if you think that I am right?
