We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

No, you arrange with a builder or three to come round and give you estimates. The EA's involvement is merely arranging a time for that, assuming you want to get them before purchase. Might you pull out from the purchase, depending on the estimates?peppapig14 said:from everyone's comments, I have decided not to ask for a discount

If not, then just get them post-purchase...1 -
no we are not planning on pulling out. just want average costs so we can prioritise when we get in the house ( ie Windows are rotten but liveable, would rather get new heating system first)AdrianC said:
