I am nearing completion on the purchase of the downstairs flat of a 1900's Victorian property that has recently been converted. I had the homeowner's survey done which came back with a number of issues (the majority of which the vendor was prepared to rectify). However, one of the comments raised was; "The main roof coverings comprise concrete tiles. Slight sagging of the slopes was noted and additional strengthening is recommended to the main frame. ie collars". The vendor / and a number of other people are telling me that this is a fairly generic comment and he is not prepared to remedy.
I know that it is difficult to comment without seeing the property but can you tell me whether this is something that comes up often as I dont know how to read "slight sagging". Should this be something that I get another opinion on (something which may cost me more money) or might this merely be a case of the surveyor covering all his bases?
Much appreciated!
