First time buyer - survey renegotiation help

Hoploz

I can't comment on the red route point, other than is there anywhere for visitors to park vs any other house you may buy?

But I was going to point out that yes, town houses are not for everyone and as such they tend to offer good value for money/be slightly cheaper than a comparable two storey house. We had a baby while living in one and although the room sizes were generous, the extra stairs were a pain. It was ideal for us in the beginning as we wanted to work from home so a downstairs room to use was perfect - nicely separated from the living space above. But many families wouldn't choose it. We sold ours pretty quickly though, it's just getting the right buyer.

Then I wouldn't bother with an inspection.

Budget for changing the fuse box, and posibly the wiring, sometime in the next year or two.

If you're doing any major redecoration/re-building it might make sense to update the wiring (if needed) at that point.

Get a sparkie round after you've bought to give you a (free) quote for what needs doing.

Bromley? Red route? 1960`s Town House? Not on London Road is it?!

Lewis - No not London road, but it is further down the A21 past Bromley South. But I think I know what you're referring to as we did see a couple places on London Road. You from that area?
