The surveyor has just phoned and told us that they will be coming tomorrow at 8.30am.....Gulp.

Hopefully it won't be too bad as they said it only takes 20 minutes (do you think that's just a valuation?) and it is exactly the same man that surveyed our house when we bought it 16 months ago. All of his findings from then, we have had fixed - with guarantees.

Karma and good luck would still be appreciated, as we fly to Sydney 50 days today!!!

Mike. :scared:

If they are only there 20 minutes it will be the basic tests. They will look for any cracks that could indicate subsidence (or heave) and have a general look around for anything else odd but that is all. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Hi ours phoned yesterday and are coming out tomorrow,i asked how long they would be,2 hours we where told,hope nothing gos wrong,sale gos though in 7 weeks

Hi our survey on Thursday. Its only a valuation survey & takes 20-30 minutes so hopefully will not find anything serious!
If all Ok we are hoping to be in Brisbane within 8 - 10 weeks

Good luck!

They must have paid extra for the homebuyers survey.

Hi mike,i really wouldnt worry,the surveyers were only 10mins when they came round mine,not really worth coming at all

Thanks all, I'll let you know how it goes.

Fingers crossed for all of you in the same boat.

Mike.

No joke, the surveyor that came to our house last week was here for about 2 mins max!!! Just poked his head round each door! Easy Peasy money!!
Good Luck!

All the best for your survey...20 mins you lucky things ours was 2.30hrs!! it was the longest 2.30hrs ever

Good luck with the survey & move would send you some K but I`m all out

Nooooo.....bad news!

They came and did the 20 minute valuation yesterday, found a couple of positive moisture readings (The house is 1870) nothing to worry about. That was 10am.

5pm the surveyor phones back and says they have done the worng survey and they now have to do a homebuyers 2-2.5 hour one.

They are here now, so I am sat here shaking as he goes through the house with a fine tooth comb.

....and breathe! :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

Keep breathing!! have sent you some karma to try and calm the nerves
Hope it goes well. mandi

Thanks Mandi!

He has told me they are retaining £1k, given that we are heading to Oz in less than 50 days, I think it best we knock it off the asking price! Quite chuffed with the £1k!!



Mike.

Could've been worse, lets hope the buyers agree to that! but I'm sure they will have a few celebratory drinks tonight

all the best matey,karma on it's way

or it will be when i have some to give
