Hi everyone,
I’m a FTB after some advice
I’ve recently have had my survey done which has come back stating it needs a new roof within 2-3 years.
It’s a detached house from the 1930’s so has no underfelt. The surveyor noted some daylight coming through in a few places but no sign of water ingress, damp or rot. He did say the torching Has deteriorated.
My question is: do I go back to the EA to renegotiate a lower price (surveyor is saying it’ll cost 20k for a new roof, I’m thinking more so 10-12k) taking in to consideration a new roof? Or will this roof last me much longer than 2-3 years.
I understand what I’m asking is probably something that’s very hard to answer as every roof is different but thought I’d ask anyway
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
