FTB - Survey roof issues
First time buyer in Dublin and just got a survey back on a 1950s terrace house. The survey flagged quite a few issues and I’m trying to work out what’s “normal old house stuff” versus expensive red flags.
Main issues mentioned:
* Main roof in poor condition / no felt under slates
* Timber decay + possible woodworm in attic
* Flat roof nearing end of life
* Structural cracking to chimney + possible rebuild recommendation
* Poor attic ventilation
* Possible lack of damp proof course
* General ventilation/damp concerns
Is this level of issues fairly standard for a 1950s property? Anyone had similar and what did things cost to get up to spec.
* Which of these would you consider the biggest concern/cost?
* Would you renegotiate heavily or walk away?
Speaking with the engineer who did the report this week to get a bit more insight
I’ll attach a few snips from the survey.
