We are in the process of about to sign contracts on buying our first house. The solicitor has got on to me this morning to say that from the documentation she has received it seems the original builder of the house omitted to get an archeological survey done on the land before constructing the house.

Can anyone please advise on this issue, is it a major problem, can a survey be done at this stage as the house it 7 years old, what implications will we have if we go ahead and buy the house and later want to sell or the approx. cost of getting a survey done even if we can get one done??

Thanks
