Mortgage valuation report shows lack of fire separation

Options
I have just had a copy of the report from my mortage company.

It shows some damp readings in limited areas which should be monitored and a lack of fire separation in the loft space.

If my building soc proceed to offer of mortgage I am thinking of asking for the fire separation to be rectified before continuing. The house was refurbed by the current owners and bought as a doer-upper by them specifically to sell on so I think they would be in a position to sort this.

The damp is probably due to it being unoccupied for a couple of years, but should I investigate further?

Any advice is welcome,

Thanks,

Kel.

    A lot of houses dont have it.

    Its nothing to worry about as such, just a case of a few breeze blocks/bricks in the loft. By all means ask for it but i wouldnt let it be a deal breaker if your happy with the purchase price and house.

    Thanks for that. Just home buying jitters.

    Just waiting to hear if the Leeds will now make a mortgage offer.
