Before we got our modern house, we were set an a large 3-bed victorian terrace. On my dads insistance we had a full structural survey. The list was so long the estate agent didnt even try and convince us it was worth buying. The whole back wall of the house was making a bid for freedom aswell as the floors not being far off from going. In short, it needed about £25k spending on it immediately and a lot more over time. On a house for £123k thats rather alot.
The survey cost us £700 odd but he was there about 5 hours and the report was comprehensive and well explained. Money well spent.
