Buyers Survey Says Garden Wall Shows Signs of Movement

I would point out the facts.

Its not a retaining wall and there is a fence which marks the boundary. 

If it becomes a problem, i.e. the buyer wants it 'fixed' then I would just offer to remove the wall myself, assuming its not miles long and 1000's of bricks to get rid of. 

A skip will cost you £300, a crowbar and club hammer another £30 and a day to remove it. Far cheaper and easier than getting quotes to repair a redundant wall.

If they are looking for a price reduction I would firstly reiterate the wall is for decoration only, it serves no structural purpose and advise there will be no price reduction. It seems unlikely a buyer would back out over a garden wall which can just be removed.

People love bricks.

I gave away hundreds and the guy was over the moon.

My neighbour sold a load for 20p a brick and he sold them all. People like weathered bricks.
