    What can be done?

    Depending on type of the issue..
    -You can withdraw your offer
    -You can decrease the offer
    -You can ignore it and buy it anyway and then deal with it later
    -Also bank can withdraw their mortgage offer if it's a big problem which could lead to house damage in the future
  • My broker didn't specify he just said he now has to go through the council to check repair history etc otherwise lender will not give me my mortgage as it no longer meets their criteria (Skipton)
