My buyer's mortgage blocked by drain issues

indielad

My buyer's bank was blocked getting his mortgage, as their homebuyers 2 survey ideitified supposed drain issues due to a collapsed pipe.

I got the water board company (Severn Trent) to perform a full CCTV inspection and there was no collapsed pipe and water was free flowing. They generated a report via email.

Will this satisfy my buyer's bank's surveyor? It was only the potential collapsed pipe they showed concern over?

Possibly? We don't know. You also have to satisfy the buyer, not just his lender.

I suppose it depends... 
What lead them to think there was a collapsed pipe? 

Is there another issue? If not, it should be fine.

My buyer says he's happy. Buyers can be liars, but I assume he is, or he would not be bothering to keep in touch.  We have each others mobiles

No there's no other issue. The yard landscaping is just old. The surveyor inspected the whole property and thought up the worst case and improbable scenario for each issue.In addition,  I damaged a floorboard from replastering a wall 3 years ago and now this is considered potential 'dry rot' while there is absolutely no evidence of fungus above or below the floorboards  sigh
