Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if I could get your opinions on a roof belonging to a house I have recently viewed.
Basically the house is a semi that's had the loft converted into a bedroom (see the 3 velux windows in the roof). My concern is that from inside it looks like the windows sag slightly toward the centre of the bottom two windows, and there was a bit of water damage/tide mark in the central corner on each of the bottom two windows... It was clearly the room their child lives in so I don't know if this was just from them leaving the window open in the rain and it following the sag to the nearest opening, or something more sinister?
I did ask about building regulations and was told that everything was above board. Obviously I'd check this with the solicitor but you never know!
I was told that the owners late father was a joiner and that's what has me thinking that this could be something that their father just "did" and might not be up to standard/in line with regulations.
The picture of the garage is included as it could be related, if indeed the father did that roof too!
Could I get your thoughts please?
