Hey,
I am looking at buying a house and had the usual vague survey. Decided to check the loft myself and saw things of concern
Inside
A friend of a friend took a detailed look and said he recommended a new roof but a professional roof company has come back saying they don't think there are any real issues.
I still feel a new roof is needed but wondering what the opinion of anyone who knows better or has had a roof done recently?
I have tried to upload pics of inside but it won't work

Inside
- Mould on the timbers
- Water stains showing water has run down the chimney breast
- Water that has been soaked into the timber that touches the chimey breast
- Light showing either side of the chimney breast
- Plaster that crumbled when I touched it as well as being damp and dust on the surrounding floor
- Vent coming up from bathroom with no extraction to the outside
- Tears in the felt
- Lead around both the chimney stacks seems to be quite dated
- Pointing on both the chimney stacks (although some seems in good condition)
- Lots of moss
- Gulleys full of moss
