Thank you very much,
@Kikki21.
We heard on Friday that the vendor's structural survey shows that the cracks are not serious, so we are going ahead. We also have roof tiles that need repointing, but will do that ourselves once we own the house. And there's a gas fire that's unsafe that must be dealt with too.
You're so right about surveys - I wouldn't care to take on a house without one.
It's a big relief that the cracks just need repointing/ redecorating, not only because we like the house, but also because it would be so stressful and expensive to have to find another house and go through paying for searches and survey for a third time!
We rang Sheffield Hallamshire Hospital, the eye department, this morning & have confirmed the two appointments - liver scan & laser therapy - for 25th October. We're just hoping for the best...
My husband will have to lurk inside away from sunlight for three days after the treatment.
Hoping you soon get somewhere with your house sale and purchase. (I don't know how surveyors look at the roof - maybe they have special binoculars.) I just hate the way one always has to chase people, who often say they'll ring you back, but rarely do. I
hate that feeling of being in limbo.
Very best wishes that things get sorted out as soon as possible.
Love,
Marcelle xx
