Hi all,
We are sale agreed on a house and just got our survey results. Nothing major came up, only the following issues:
1. Servicing of the oil boiler.
2. Replace the broken glazing unit to the rear window.
3. Repair the fire back to the fireplace.
On one hand, it would be great if these would be fixed (or cost-shared) by the owner before we move in... on the other hand, I know this is a sellers market and we won this house on a bidding war and would hate to see the seller going to the 2nd bidder if we ask him for repairs.
What's the normal procedure in these circumstances? Any suggestion?
TIA!
