This is an option, just need some protective gear, a few mates and a trailer

Could also look into getting a new roof fitted on the cheap (through a friend of a friend)

But I'm getting professional quotes in writing to take back to the estate agent to haggle down the price (hoping to meet half way)

At the end of the day, the property has been on the market for 12 months which puts me in a strong position

Depending on the interest the owner could just pull the sale that's what you should be worried about. At the end of the day you have forked out £600 for the survey. Could try for a cheeky £300 off I guess.

We got 3,000 knocked off after the survey came back...just renegotiate the price a bit as it need work.

I wouldn't worry for that. That's a clean survey ;)

Knock £450 off the price of the house. If the guy wants to lose the sale of his house for the sake of £450 then so be it.

Simples.

Depends how much you want the house... if you don't mind some conflict, ask them to knock the £550 off the price of the house... if you want things to move swiftly and don't mind paying for it, then just proceed.

What does the solicitor advise?

thats cheap to get asbestos removed, although it would depend on the size and how many people were to strip it.
be cheeky as possible with the guy and ask him to pay 3/4 of the cost.

Ok have already made an accepted offer on a house

Morgage is approved and ready

Had the survey done last week, house is fine but the garage needs re-roofing

Mentioned it to the estate agent who phoned the vendor, but he's not prepared to do the work for us prior to completion

What would you do next? Offer to go halfs or just pay up and smile

Garage roof is asbestos so needs removing by a team, have been quoted 250 to remove the roof and 300 to fit a new roof
