Gossiping not exactly what original post said, where does that come into it.

I think people often turn a blind eye to domestic violence I can't believe the sil is about respect etc from over 600 posts. People aren't generally silent through respect on here and it sounds have found fine to comment on other deaths.. And other assaults people weren't quiet then out of respect. I feel silence reflects blind eye and not wanting to get involved. I can't believe comments saying we don't know what happened. It's clear a woman was murdered.. What circumstance would make that OK!? A domestic violence one it seems

Really nice guys, extremely quick and on the case and helpful,always punctual and responsive too prior to day of move

And yes I totally know police often of no help in these situations even if they want to be

I'm not victim blaming I'm just concerned about whole situation and also if it's because anxious to report I feel as women it's sad but unfortunately world we live in that it takes away us being able to speak out.

I don't understand why you didn't want to report to the police if it bothered you enough to post on here then please think of others too and could be worse for next victim

Hi there.. Isn't ?600 a year on a one bed flat victorian conversion unbelievable? No subsidence history 1866 building.. Doesn't include contents.. Its through the management company as its leasehold but that's not including their yearly fee they charge for kindly arranging thst cost

Thanks jellybeanz I've realised whole house slopes to the right all rooms and floors boards very bumpy underneath not springy more maybe buckled

Thanks fishbiscuits that's really helpful. I don't mind the floor sloping so much but concerned of trying to sell it on. I think will ask the owner if knows of infestation under the vinyl flooring as I think it's only been down few years so she should know. And hope honest answer

Thanks effra yes I think it is a later extension and the part where there are cracks on inside and outside from the trees apparently

Thanks redpost Its in kitchen at back of house and bathroom.. And slopes from one side of the terrace house across to the other side of terrace house.. No room division or in flat downstairs so bit strange..

Yes that's right I have been looking for a long time now and I like Victorian conversions that of course have more problems .. I remember you commented before and said on my last post you were getting a feeling of deja vu.. And now again making a point of this. Not sure why you feel need to do that doesn't seem its coming from a helpful place more making a dig.

When I say termites just including any insects or pests in that like wormwood that eats the wood Was the agent and yes I know they just say anything like the owner said its built like that.. And won't be problem selling it on.. I've been speaking to five surveyors and arborists in regards to how trees should have been cut down. Apparently the couple were furloughed but I'm surprised they had a survey as the agent told me they couldn't get a mortgage until all work was done so I wouldnt have thought they would have got a survey.

They said it would be termites or linked to the subsidence.. I don't know if can tell as cannot pull up the flooring.. A previous survey was done by a couple that pulled out and apparently nothing was flagged up about it on that..

Thanks kidkruger

Thanks sue, yes I am and was concerned caused by subsidence but apparently not or so the insurance structural engineer has said.. Already concerned about heave happening as cut trees down in one go and put plug in which kills them pretty instantly.i did put offer in taking into consideration these things but rejected so put another in but I won't go any higher or it will only end up few thousand off which doesn't feel right under the circumstances as I may have trouble selling it on and difficulty for people trying to get mortgages. How did you find out its bomb damage.. That's a good reason as you know its not rotting away!!

Thanks very much.. Trees caused slight subsidence and cut down but apparently the floor was slopping beforehand and owner thinks just built that way but Im concerned of dry rot and if caused by termites.

Hi there.. Anyone had an upstairs slopping floor what did you find were the causes if not subsidence

The agent is asking owner if she will put new consumer unit in with rcd and certify with tests and then I can just put a box over is as its in the bathroom. As opposed asking for money off. So I agreed. And if she says no then I negotiate money off but no doubt after I've then paid 1000 non refundable deposit so she can say no to everything then.

Diable rouge yes it is..

What's cladding its old Victorian conversion.. And the extra service charge on top of already the other serviced charge!?

Very true. I asked speak to agent and received this email back. I don't understand surely it's norm to negotiate from surveyor report. The owner is chasing your solicitors details and the deposit. We are now in a situation where the property has been taken off the market in good faith without the deposit and you now wish to renegotiate the price again. You already told us that the cost is not ?2000 and is more like more than ?5000 per flat. A surveyor can estimate costs but they are often not accurate, a quote will come from actual contractors which I thought had been done already and that you had discussed this with the project manager. And last bit said let me know urgently what I want to do. I didn't already renegotiate a price I had to pay ?2,500 more than initial offer. Waa just last Thursday evening offer accepted and waiting for quote from solicitors the agent recommended as my house sale taken more than 6 months.. Have not said I won't pay deposit or that I won't buy the place.

I know but my house completes this week so will then rent so doesn't work out much different. I know all signs there which is why walled before but I decided right fkat for me and been looking for year now and that other one didn't work out with smoking neighbour!

Thanks womanofdulwich.. Tenant no longer there now but had been there 4 years and was really nice tenant looking after place he showed me fkat initially in lockdown period. Owner definitely knows but is very brash and cold and when I ask anything she says I'm a time waster asking silly questions apparently But yes I will try negotiate now as I knew once paid 1000 I lose any negotiation possibility then.. Really glad surveyor managed have a cancellation

Hi everyone, I had a survey carried out on flat I'm buying and it flagged no consumer unit so no rcd protection and currently the fuses electrics are on the bathroom wall.. Albeit at the end by the door so not good obviously if damp gets in.. Is this something I can ask the owner to sort before I buy it or I could ask to negotiate cost?also flagged but I was aware of external works where building not been maintained ongoing issues between owners and management company it's leasehold.. Owners don't agree to works but it's old conversion and in a bad way the stone mount crumbling the windowsills and has dead ivy but apparently hasn't caused much hairline cracks and no damp. Owner keeps saying it's just going to be ?2,000 per flat there's 4 flats management company told me ?4,000 but waiting for surveyor to come off furlong! But my surveyor said more like ?35,000 per building It's been hard to get this flat not because any other offers.it was on for ?5,000 less for 6months I offered then and accepted but when I found out about the building works battle I didn't want to take it on and worried incase works never carried out. within few weeks of doing all the finding out and needing to call management company myself I pulled out. But four months has go e by now and I feel less stressed about the situation but to accept my offer I needed to offer ?2,500 more which felt unfair but I do want to buy the flat. Its tenanted so there was no chain etc no financial lose for her from me pulling out two weeks later. I have emailed the agent to say I would like to renegotiate but I know he will say if he goes to her she will just pull out. She wants me to pay ?1,000 non refundable deposit too or will keep in market until completes. I was lucky to get a cancellation for yesterday to get the survey in before the solicitors have had chance to ask for the 1000 transfer. So I feel at least it's fair to ask to renegotiate and the surveyor said when he switched boiler on the pressure very low and suggested I ask for it to be looked at so I already emailed asked if it could be serviced as I have paid ?2,500 more than initial offer. Any thoughts on all this as I don't know what's OK to ask and what's not, if reasonable to ask for boiler service and consumer unit. I doubt get anywhere with asking for money off for building works as she will say I knew about it and it's mentioned on the 1000 non refundable deposit as a term ie buyer aware of buildings work.
