When do fixture and fittings list come?

If I want to suggest any works from the seller, who is best to approach, solicitor via solicitor or the EA'S? Thanks

Don't ask the seller to do it.
They'll bodge it the cheapest possible way.

If the survey's valuation has come back lower than the agreed price, then renegotiate the price based on that. But don't waste everybody's time with trivialities like an hour of a roofer's time.
If the survey's valuation agrees with the agreed price, then the issues have already been priced in.

no, the valuation came back as 5k lower than what we offerred. But the bank's valuation said that it is just enough. so , im thinking ,instead of renegotiating , i will just ask them to just sort the issues, which are mostly minors?

Did you not read AdrianC's post?

Never get a vendor to do any work...

Thanks, the surveyor also mentioned about completion certificate for the extended kitchen, is that piece of paper important?and if they cant provide it, can i ask about indemnity insurance? just reading some threads about what to do in case, it is not provided. thanks

Eh? It's your thread lol. You don't need to tell us, it doesn't work like Facebook

The chimney.

If I was the seller and you asked me to fix, I'd pay a chap down the pub a fiver to go up and... well, do whatever he felt like doing. I wouldn't care! More likely I'd just tell you to stop wasting my time.

But to give you an idea: my odd-job man goes up and fixes loose roof tiles from time to time. Half and hour costs £15. Same for your chimney. A roofer might want scaffolding which is £200+........

Completion certificate for the extended kitchen.

How long ago was it done? Building Regs can only be enforced in the 12 months following completion.

Indemnity insurance will protect against enforcement (see previous sentence), but not against shoddy workmanship.
