Survey Work

Options
Hello,

Would appreciate some help, I already have a thread running here (https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3134308) but I tihnk it may be on the wrong board.

Essentially I am trying to find out roughly how much this work is going to cost from a Survey on our house, which we are selling (Part Ex):

1. Slipped and chipped slates, ridge and verge tiling needs pointing (overhaul and repair of roof coverings)

2. Re-pointing of elevations

3. Rot and weathering to windows (Overhaul of some windows). There are 3 windows in total and one tiny one.

4. Overhaul and repair of main house front door casing. Now this one is really stupid, the bottom of the door casing needs replasing. Its a little rotton at the bottom, so it either needs fixing or replasing, I think I could do this myself in a weekend easy!

5. Overhaul and repair of loose brickwork boundary wall. Our yard wall at the back needs pointing.

6. Make good party wall. Not sure on this one. It says "part walling requires making good to prevent fire spread"

7. Eveidens of rising dampness noted to rear. sub floor ventilation seems to be inadequate. Evidence of penetrating dampness noted to roof space (further investigatoins by a specialist contractor). The wall is damp, but its a small area and its not visibly damp.

Would appreciate it if anyone would be able to give me some rough prices? If any further detail is needed I can put it up.

thanks!
