Hi guys,
I have recently recieved a survey back on a house i've made an offer on and there are 3 main issues that need to be assessed as urgent repairs. I would like to know from you guys what the average cost is for these repairs if I was to have them carried out by a professional. It is a 2 bed, 2 storey 1900 built mid terreced property.
1 - Sub-floor timber wall-plate rotten - this needs replacing and I think is accessable via the cellar
2 - Kitchen floor needs relaying and damp proofing - kitchen was extended into an existing out house and the existing floor is uneven and damp so will need digging up a relaying, it is a concrete floor.
3 - Chimeny stack/breast romaval - above the kitchen the 3rd bedroom has been converted into a bathroom. The lower part of the chimney in the kitchen has already been removed, leaving the first floor section and the loft section. High damp reading were taken from the wall of the chimney stack and we have been advised to have it removed and have the roof patched where the stack is.
other issues were noted such as poor ventallation in the loft and floors etc, and damp proofing the entire house was also advised.
I'm going back to the property tonight to have a look at the problems for myself, then it will be organising quotes etc, but if I could get an idea from here first that would be of great help, thanks!
