So, we have accepted an offer on our property; £5k below asking. The buyer had a survey undertaken that suggested there may be damp and requested a follow up damp survey which we undertook and paid for. This survey identified the need for a damp course which we are undertaking and obviously covering the cost for.
The buyer has now sent questions about the following:
- Will we be addressing the structural reinforcement identified in the survey; the survey identified that this may be an issue in 15 - 25 years so we don't believe that's urgent enough to take care of?
- Will we be addressing the masonry issues in the chimney? Which we had done.
- Will they be given written confirmation that all repairs come with insurance backed guarantees? We assume that the company will agree to this.
My two biggest questions are 1) are these normal questions/issues? 2) Should I be expecting them to pull out?
This is my first ever house sale and now I feel stupid for making an offer on a new property and I'm convinced it'll all go wrong.
Hopefully this makes sense.
Edited to add that we are in Wales.
