the morgage lender will do a survey, but you can have your own done, solicitor will sort the rest once you have a morgage offer

ok, firstly if the house is under £250000 stamp duty will be 1% of the value of the property, your solicitors fee will be around a grand, i used marcus baum, they are great and every1 i know has used them 2, you may find cheaper but you won't find better.

i got a homebuyer survey done on mine which i think was around £500, i wouldn't bother getting an expensive indepth survey done unless the property is run down and your going to develope it,

if it's a terraced house then just take a really good look, cracks in brickwork, damp, these things are pretty easy to pick up on.

don't be afraid to take a really good look, criticise every bad point in front of the owner too.

don't fuck about either, it's a buyers market and if this guy wants to sell he'll take what ever he can get.

any thing else i'll let you know down the pub. see ya tomoz
