Hi,
We're looking to purchase a 1970's property. When we got the survey done, it flagged a crack in the porch extension which was built in the 1980's. We're aware that a public drain runs alongside it so asked the vendor to arrange a CCTV survey of the drain. She's pretty reluctant to, as she claims it was from when the window in the porch was replaced.
I've popped over to have a look and in fairness it does seem to start from the window area, and run down the cement line in a zig zag way.
I'm not opposed to paying for a CCTV survey of the drain, but I'm also not convinced its a massive issue. It runs down from the window, around the corner of the porch and down to around 3-4 bricks above ground level. Any advice appreciated!
