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.

The surveyor very carefully said “no problem with resale”. NOT “no problem with resale to someone who needs a mortgage”. He also made a further catch all caveat relating to “normal market conditions”. It looks like you read far too much into what he said or did not understand it. Because you were able to buy without a mortgage obviously means you were not aware of the limitations in securing lending with this type of property.0

Cash buyer route is the way to go IMO.0

Have any others in the block, or estate if there is more than one block of similar construction, sold in the last year or so? Which estate agent sold them?But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

I feel sorry for the op. There should have been some sort of caveat in the report about it being non mortgageable. In her position, I would be showing the report to a lawyer. A bunch of strangers on a forum cannot help.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1
