    Thank you, i appreciate your advice, the more i read about it the more i am thinking this may be too much to think about taking on :S

    I cant think why on earth teh owners would not go to their insurers and get this problem sorted out before putting it up for sale :S

    Don't waste your time thinking.

    They need to tell you. Openly and honestly, otherwise it is a complete non-starter.

    Maybe they are in such financial difficulty, they stopped paying their premiums...the fools.

    My guess is that the insurer's refused their claim. I reckon there is no building regs approval for the bedroom above the garage.

    Walk way now!

    That's a huge jump, and quite libel.

    A quick call to the council's planning permission department can ease that worry.
