 Home Buyer report - following up - Focusless
My elderly and recently not-so-well parents are in the process of moving out of their 3 storey property to a bungalow. They've just got a 'HomeBuyer' report on the place they're planning on buying, and it's listed a few things rated as red on the report's traffic-light scale.

My parents know these things tend to err on the side of caution, and it wasn't a full survey. So for example the chimney which was described as 'perished significantly towards the top' was only inspected from ground level.

The report recommends getting a Building Contractor to do a proper investigation on the dodgy areas; I'm hoping they would say at least some of the things may not be ideal but probably don't need attention in the immediate future.

Can anyone recommend a contractor in the Nottingham (Long Eaton) area, or suggest the best way (eg. website) to go about finding one? Roughly how much are they likely to charge?

TIA
