legal position re. passing on information on your survey to the next buyer?

Hi tucbiscuit,
Your original post is more about the legal position than the ties themselves which others have previously answered very well. As regards the ties themselves, whilst a bungalow may be considered at less risk than a multi storey house from collapse due to wall tie failure, the ties to the subject property may well be sufficiently corroded since it was built such that checking their condition and pattern / number present may result in a recommendation to install new ties and address any existing ties that may cause disruption as they expand with corrosion.

Please see my previous posts on cavity wall ties for further information such as:
