I am going to view a house tomorrow, which has been unoccupied for 30 years. It;s a lovely house with 3 double bedrooms and a drive with a large garden at the back.
The seller wants to get rid quick so he has put the house up for sale for about 230k, The houses on this road are valued for around 280k to 300k mark. Seeing that the property has been untouched for decades , I'd like some tips on what to look out for during the viewing. Basically the house will need to be stripped completely, re wired, windows replaced , new roof, kitchen, bathroom and final finishes. he reckons everything will cost 12-16k, I reackon it will cost around £30-40k minimum which is more realistic. I was thinking of offering £215 subject to a full survey, is that reasonable? Also what potential problems would you expect from a house which has been un occupied for 30 years.
