In your own words you'll be getting a £750k house for £640k, this just comes down to how much you want a bargain and the work that comes with it!0

but what about the overhang of owning a property that has had subsidence
Well, you'll want to retain proof that the issue has been rectified, and it may cause future buyers to be a little more wary, with less experienced ones perhaps pulling out, but just as you're considering buying it now, it's fair to say someone else will come to the same conclusion as you in the future.will it ever achieve a decent price?
Maybe slightly less 'decent' than somewhere else without similar issues, so yes, you may have to sell it for less, but that's balanced out by the fact that you bought it for less in the first place.0 -
I'm having similar with a property we are purchasing. A drain has gone causing some subsidence on one side of the property. The surveyor was not overly concerned, and once it is fixed you will have the relevant certification and there shouldn't be any further issues. "subsidence" without a fixable cause would be more concerning for me personally.0
