My question is, has anyone managed to escalate issues through a bank to get a common sense decision?
I must add that I can source the extra funds, but would prefer not to.
Up to standard?expecting to spend €10k or €20k to get it up to standard
To be honest, if you don't have 10k for repairs, I'd be wary of buying a 100 year old house without checking the chimney. It'll cost a few hundred quid, 1 item checked off the list, and you'll know what you have.inspection of the chimney
lucky it is only 10 to 12K,Up to standard?
You'd spend that much on a kitchen!
Once a building survey report has gone to the bank, the only thing you can really do is get an engineers report that's more specific. That'll cost 1200+
In my limited experience, surveyors point out all the stuff they didn't check to cover their asses, and make things sound bad.

If anyone has experience of negotiating these things with banks please let me know.
