View of roof for purchase of house

[graemezz]

We are looking at buying this and a L2 survey showed the photos inc. as 2 or 3 risk (3 highest).
Could the roof be fixed by adding tiles back and fixing ridge tiles or are new tiles needed?
Also, sarking is ripping inside loft.
Any idea of time needed to swap sarking or replace all please?

Doh, due to which bits please? Inner, ridge, tile missing and right hand side tiles having a small gap?
Thank you

I disagree in part, unless those plains are delaminating?

Apart from the unsightly ripped tarred building paper, it looks healthy enough from what I can see. There is a chance that ferrous fixings were used for the battens and (if any) for the tiles. If that is the case, then it could do with a re-roof.

The ex-con tile gapping on the verge is a normal sight for unfixed or unrestrained tiles.

The missing R/H corner tile (hanging) could be repaired with some cleverly shaped lead.

Thank you for your view. Some of the wording I do not understand.
What is "plains are delaminating" and "ferrous fixings" please?
I need to see if the estate agent will permit a roofer to look.
