    We’re just waiting for the owner to clarify things with the insurance company and she’s going to email us all the information she has got together including price. 

    The property is no longer on the market, so no-one else knows it’s available - the sign outside it says sold as the agents took it off the market and then the pipe burst. We have our AIP from the lender and no chain…I’d like to think we’re a good buyer! 
    Thats good then, fingers crossed you can get a mortgage lender to lend on it once they check it all out

    Poor girl, insurance claims can be a nightmare.  I had to really fight to get my roof replacement quote accepted by my insurance company.  Without my surveyor helping me as a friend, I think I'd have caved in and ended up with the inferior replacement 'hot torch' bitumen roof they were offering.   

    Good luck.

    Is the vendor (daughter of the deceased) sole executor? 
    sole beneficiary?
    Has Probate been granted?

    I’d want to know all the above before even considering an offer
