Defect not picked up by surveyor

To his credit I have e mailed him a letter today and he has arranged to come over next Wednesday. Ultimately he should have picked up on it as it was a visual defect, and as I've parted with a lot of money I would have expected him to pick up on the matter.
Hopefully as some other posters have pointed out I'm praying that it's a soakway drain as it will be relatively cheap to sort :money:
What does your lease say regarding structural repairs and maintenance?
Do you pay a service charge?0 -
What does your lease say regarding structural repairs and maintenance?
Both leaseholders have to make a 'reasonable' contribution to repairs made by the free holder. Unlike a bit of vague language to muddy the waters hey :eek:
No service charge and ground rent @ £25 p/a but the landlord is not present so none has been paid (I have the relevant indemnity policies and contingent policies from the purchase - can I claim from these?)0
