  • Absolutely- we sold a previous survey (our sale fell through) for £300 to the new purchaser. No protection from surveyor but new buyer was happy with it.

    Just ask the EA to ask the previous purchaser.

    Prices are creeping up in places like London, I understand. £25k sounds like a lot, but it all depends on the actual asking price. It could just be 1%... :smile:
    Sales are falling though? Asking prices don`t really mean anything.

    Levels of the flooring flagged during survey but this was also put down to the age of the building and Highgate being on a hill and the subsoil being clay which is renowned for moving. Does this means subsidence and is it something he should be concerned?
    That would be a red flag, and also the price increase, I would look elsewhere.
