Help please! All comment appreciated.
D&SIL bought a house and exchange is meant to take place in the next couple of weeks. They had a survey done and the report flagged up a few minor issues and also suggested that the roof may need attention. So they paid again and had a roof inspection and the report said "Roof needs redoing, could cost up to £10,000".
So this info went back to the seller who (won't drop his price) and has asked his own contact in the roofing business to report and he says there is nothing wrong with the roof apart from a few loose tiles. However this latter roofer has no website, is not part of a company, so could just be a mate of the seller?
What happens next when there are two completely opposing opinions on the state of the roof? The solicitor is saying they don't get involved until agreement has been reached.
Does one call in a third opinion? This is massively frustrating at this late stage and the buyers are a young couple with now limited funds!
