Hi All,
I’m a newbie here and in the process of purchasing our first listed property (grade II). We were always planning to get a detailed RICS listed building survey but naturally there is a backlog and we can’t get ours until mid September.
Meanwhile, the mortgage company has done their ‘survey’ and identified cracks internally and in the render of the stone/rendered cottage. They have returned a value of £0 pending a FRICS or structural survey. Our surveyor has said this is quite normal and not to worry as the likelihood is that the cracks are historic or render cracks are likely to be due to cement render being used on a ‘naturally moving’ property.
Has anybody else experienced this type of thing and should I be worried?
