Yes probably lol.. surveyor has got to produce a report of some sort. There are some things that are probably not essential to get done immediately anyway. We're currently getting jobs priced up. Thanks Mottie.

Depends what you mean by tatty old terrace - it's a semi or end-terrace and inside actually ok, by our standards, but surveyor has just recommended several things to be done. We don't have the budget for magazine standard and we're not after that - as long as it's liveable, decorated to our...

Thank you - that's much clearer. :-)

Thank you for your response. We were going to wait several months to do the roof - it's not urgent as roof, despite old, is not in bad condition - it's just that it doesn't have any covering aside from the slates. In all this, I'm going to sound extremely dumb.. so for the party wall, we get...
