Each to their own. I had the opportunity to buy a 4 bed link detached for £290k that needed full double glazing throughout, quite a bit of brick repointing, several new roof tiles and a new gas pipe. In the end I settled for a new build 3 bed detached for £295k which needs nothing done to it. I can live with the smaller floor space and there is always the option of a conservatory in the future.
As you say, each to their own - I for one wouldn't touch a new build with a bargepole, but would much rather the challenge of restoring an *old build* to its former glory

Thanks for the responses guys. We're going to go view it again. IIRC there was an airing cupboard in the bathroom so its possible the acces was in there. I will also try asking the neighbours.
Another point arises, when I last saw the property it still had a lot of furniture in it, I don't yet know if it has been removed. If not will it prevent the surveyor from doing his job? It would be a full structural survey so for example if he can't assess the floor fully because 50% of it is obstructed? Or do surveyors not operate like that?0
