Walking away after a bad survey, have you done it?(40 Posts)
I'm on buyers support thread, lovely people but am casting the question wider.
Major but fixable problems with survey much to my horror, basically the roof and drains. In the region of 12k. There is also a suspicious crack that the surveyor says a structural engineer needs to inspect. You could feel the draught from outside. Very probably drains related.
Estate agent says he knows vendor won't move on price, it was on for a decent price but not based on needing any major work at all. One of the reasons it was right for us was it was it didn't need anything doing to it.
We have been looking for a house for months, we are not selling so no pressure there. Both DH and I went our separate ways and in the evening laughed when we got together because we had both been back on rightmove in the afternoon. We really liked the house but not so much with all these problems revealed.
If they won't budge on price id walk away. Could you afford the repairs if you went ahead?
I've been in the same situation - a lovely house, perfect. BUT - their extension was not done correctly and the roof joists were too small, leading the surveyor to conclude that the roof would have to be redone fairly soon.
The buyer wouldn't budge and actually was quite surprised to learn about the defects; he wanted to see the survey (er, yep ok, but I've spent £500 on it and you can see it for half that!)
We walked away - the next buyers (I assume) didn't have a survey)
(House is still standing! )
I'm sceptical about roof defects. When we sold our house 16 years ago we had to reduce the price by £20k because the survey showed an issue with the roof. £20k was a huge deal back then and as we were so desperate to move we accepted the reduction.
16 years later the house has been resold about 3 times and the roof has yet to be done so it can't have been too much of a problem.
I'm not ashamed to say we have pulled out of two purchases because of dodgy surveys.
Both showed evidence of subsidence, and in both cases the vendors were 'surprised'. We managed to negotiate £20K plus off both asking prices but in the end our mortgage provider wouldn't lend on the properties.
If you love the house, reduce your offer. Of course the EA is saying the vendor won't budge on price, that's their job!
I may be being stupid, but (captainmummy) why wouldn't you let the seller see the survey, especially if you're walking away anyway?
Yes we've just walked away from a property following a survey that suggested works of around 25k. Roof issues, damp and external cracks. Vendor wouldn't negotiate at all so we've had to walk away. We actually didn't want a 25l reduction, we asked for around 7k but he wouldn't even talk about it. I've just seem on EA website that it is again sold subject to contract so waiting to see if the current purchasers go through with it.
Yes. We walked away after a survey spotted damp problems. It was all very fixable but having had damp work done in our previous house and the mess and the stour and the replastering and redcorating I didn't want to go through it again.
With those problems OP I would walk away. It always costs more than you think.
The problems with the roof are caused by an extension that was a bit out as such. It means that the roof has large humps that have appeared since it was done a few years ago. Means liable to tile slippage and will eventually need an entire new roof but not immediately. Chimney does need doing and is causing damp in the house. Crack is what concerns me the most and we need to pay for a drain survey. I'm just wondering whether to see if roof will mean they will shift on price before paying out another potential 200 for drain survey and 400 for structural engineer.
The house sold less than two years ago but the current owner did not have a survey and was a cash buyer. It is rented out.
Gut feeling is bad
Trust your gut feeling. We have walked away twice after bad surveys with no regrets. Even if the seller does move on price it wouldn't necessarily free up the cash to do the work, if you are buying with a mortgage it might reduce the size of your mortgage but not actually give you any extra money IYSWIM.
Yes. It was a survey on a very old, rural house. We had asked previously about the drainage and kept being told that there was a tank somewhere, but the vendor had a quote for connection to the mains of about £8k.
We asked the surveyor to pin him down on the tank location, and it transpired there wasn't one - the house drainage went straight into a river flowing through the garden. The survey tested this by flushing some loo paper down the loo and seeing where it came out.
The surveyor actually stopped the survey at that point and called us to ask us what to do, as he was going to have to put a valuation of £0 on the house because of the unlimited environmental damage liability issue. This was on a house not far short of seven figures.........
Surveyor not survey
Yes we pulled out - our mortgage lender wouldn't lend us the money as the survey was so bad (roof bowing, subsistence) so we didn't have any choice.
Have done so twice.
Once when subsidence was going to be a potential issue (and lots of other problems.)
Second time was on the search results & discovered that lovely orchard the house backed on to had outline pp for 16 houses. (They have since been built).
It is what you have a survey for. OK, you've paid for the survey but it has probably saved you ££££.
If both you & DH are back to rightmove, it's obvious that your heart is not in this house.
Hope you find something even better asap.
Yes, pulled out of a house with subsidence. It hadn't been fixed and the owner was in dispute with the council and his insurance company so there was no way we were going neary any of it. They also would not budge on price. It has subsequently been bought by someone else at the price we refused so good for them.
trust your gut, your survey and the reactions that you both had!
if they won't reduce the price, walk away. There are problems that need fixing.
As said by others trust your gut. If the seller won't budge and you have the money, you could suggest a 50/50%, ie reduce the asking price by £6,000 and see if they will compromise. They will have this problem with anyone getting a survey, so may be willing to move while they easily can.
I think a 50/50 split would perhaps be a possibility, If they won't reduce the price we will just walk away. Honestly even if the work that needed doing was the electrics or something it would seem less bad but this is the actual structure that is compromised so much worse.
I appreciate everyone's input on this thanks.
Will update when final decision is made.
I've walked away from a fabulous place after a survey revealed subsidence.
I regret it every day. It was fixable and I ended up spending a lot more money on a place without subsidence than if I'd bought the first place and just put it right.
I'd walk away - there will be other houses. I'm not afraid of building works, but major problems....? No.
peepingoutofhtetumbledrier - why wouldn't i show my survey to the houseseller? Why should I? I paid £500 for it, the contract was between me and the surveyor. If the seller wanted to know what was in it, I offered him a copy - for £250. Or he could commission his own. In the end I think he decided that if he didn't have sight of it he could claim total ignorance of any problems.
I've walked away after a bad survey and also when pre-purchase investigations revealed problems with the management company in a block of flats. Did not regret either - found somewhere much better without any of the complications.
Walk away. I have done it on the surveyors recommendation, was gutted at the time but it all worked out in the end.
Subsidence is not insurmountable though - if you get the property at the right price. They have new techniques for fixing it was are a lot easier than the old 'concrete pile' method used previously.
In the OP's case, even if the seller came down massively in price I probably wouldn't go for it because of the possible implications for insurance etc of having structural problems. You don't want to end up with massive repair bills and an uninsurable house.
Incidentally - I then bought a house with 'subsidence' problems - these were traced to 6 crowded trees in the garden that had infiltrated the drainrun and caused it to collapse. The problems were rectified, but insurers see 'subsidence' and either run away screaming or pile on the loadings. i tried to get the claim changed from 'subsidence' to 'tree root damage' but to no avail.
I have a flat up for sale, it has been "sold subject to contract" 3 times. It has had 3 surveys all contradicted each other. There is not a common problem. Eg One said it had damp. The other 2 said no damp.
Who's to say the next survey won't say something different

Evil Cyborg
By lightfright12 1 Comments
So for those of you who saw Salvage this saturday who do you think that sonic canon belonged to? My guess is a version of cyborg allied with the light. He has the build for it from what I've seen of his shadow talking with Sports Master. Or it could be a brainwashed Roy Harper (original) who had his missing arm replaced with a sonic canon.

An interesting article in Salon:
Whatever her views on other matters are, Pamela Geller is right about one thing: last week's Islamist assault on the "Draw Muhammad" cartoon contest she hosted in Texas proves the jihad against freedom of expression has opened a front in the United States. "There is," she said, "a war on free speech and this violent attack is a harbinger of things to come." Apparently undaunted, Geller promises to continue with such "freedom of speech" events. ISIS is now threatening to assassinate her. She and her cohorts came close to becoming victims, yet some in the media on the right and the center-right have essentially blamed her for the gunmen's attack, just as far too many, last January, surreptitiously pardoned the Kouachi brothers and, with consummate perfidy to human decency, inculpated the satirical cartoonists they slaughtered, saying "Charlie Hebdo asked for it."
One must, though, call out New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof for backing up Affleck on the same show, and, later, in an editorial. Kristof, after all, should know better. He trades in words and ideas, and his acceptance of the fraudulent term "Islamophobia" contributes to the generalized befuddlement on the left about the faith in question and whether negative talk about it constitutes some sort of racism, or proxy for it. It patently does not. Unlike skin color, faith is not inherited and is susceptible to change. As with any other ideology, it should be subject to unfettered discussion, which may include satire, ridicule and even derision. The First Amendment protects both our right to practice the religion of our choosing (or no religion at all) as well as our right to speak freely, even offensively, about it.
One must, however, recoil in stupefaction and disgust at the consortium of prominent writers who just signaled de facto capitulation to the Enforcers of Shariah. I'm referring, of course, to the recent decision of 204 authors to sign a letter dissociating themselves from PEN's granting the Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award to the brave, talented surviving artists of Charlie Hebdo. (Disclosure: I have friends among Charlie Hebdo's staff.) The authors objecting did so out of concern, according to their statement, for "the section of the French population" – its Muslims – "that is already marginalized, embattled, and victimized, a population that is shaped by the legacy of France's various colonial enterprises." A "large percentage" of these Muslims are "devout," contend the writers, and should thus be spared the "humiliation and suffering" Charlie Hebdo's cartoons allegedly caused them.
Europe's colonial past and the United States' current (endless) military campaigns in the Islamic world, as well as prejudice against nonwhites in Europe, have predisposed many to see, with some justification, Muslims as victims. But apart from the blundering wrongheadedness of the PEN writers' dissent (Charlie Hebdo's undeniable courage won them the award, not their artwork) and putting aside the question of whether France's Muslims are necessarily "devout" (French law prohibits religion-based polling, so who could know?), or uniformly "humiliated" by Charlie Hebdo, or necessarily "embattled," one thing transpires with arresting clarity from the authors' declaration: Among the left, the confusion surrounding Islam and how we should relate to it imperils the free speech rights without which no secular republic can survive. We have to clear this up, and fast.
There is no legitimate controversy over why the Kouachi brothers targeted Charlie Hebdo. They murdered not to redress the social grievances or right the historical wrongs the PEN authors named. They explicitly told us why they murdered — for Islam, to avenge the Prophet Muhammad. Progressives who think otherwise need to face that reality. Put another way, the Kouachi brothers may have suffered racial discrimination and even "marginalization," yet had they not been Muslims, they would not have attacked Charlie Hebdo. They would have had no motive.

Our mission is to generate and nurture learning spaces designed to allow the emergence of a new conception and experience of knowing where we learn to live a good life as we contribute to build a socially just, environmentally sustainable and spiritually fulfilling world.
We cannot live in perpetual adolescence—guided only by market values—without considering major concerns and without a sense of purpose or moral responsibility.
It is not enough to develop new technologies, new legislation, or new policies. We must develop a new understanding of the meaning of our existence on Earth...
It is not enough to develop new technologies, new legislation, or new policies. We must develop a new understanding of the meaning of our existence on Earth.
It seems that the present crises, from climate change to financial collapse, are exactly the evolutionary forces that will push us to abandon our consumerist addiction, the incredible disparity in the distribution of human wealth, and the simplistic illusion that everything has a technological answer. The plethora of global concerns becomes an impetus for humanity to reflect and take action.
We need to generate a meta-narrative, a cosmology, which gives meaning and purpose to our lives and re-enchants us with the Universe such that we may chose to be part of it once again, ending this sense of separation and isolation in which mankind has lived throughout Modernity.
We need sacred spaces in which we review our assumptions and stop calling them truths. Let's return and listen respectfully to our spiritual promptings. Let's listen with deep empathy and go back to practicing the art of holistic learning, which fits all dimensions of the human experience and the anima mundi.
We need to end the conspiracy of silence, the practice of hiding all experience that we cannot explain, in order to rediscover the beauty of mystery and the power of questions.

Poster presentation
Fitting spiking neuron models to physiological data sets is often a tedious, time-consuming business involving several ad-hoc assumptions. At one end of the spectrum, biophysically detailed models can often reproduce electrophysiological data to arbitrary degree. However, because of the large number of parameters, this very laborious process runs into the risk of serious over-fitting: Different parameter configurations may give similarly good fits to a set of 'training data' [1], but it is not clear how these different models would perform on test data that has not been used for parameter tuning. At the other end of the spectrum, analytical solutions for leaky-integrate-&-fire (LIF) models would allow a fast fitting process, but their intrinsic dynamics is too poor to reproduce the spiking behaviour of real neurons to a reasonable degree. For many purposes, however, it is important to have simple, yet in some sense still physiologically realistic neuron models. Recent extensions of the basic LIF neuron model [2-4] have made progress into this direction by providing simple models which are able to reproduce voltage traces and spiking dynamics of real neurons to an astonishing degree. Most of these studies used voltage traces to fit the model, which are obtained by somatic injections of fluctuating current inputs into neurons recorded from acute brain slices. Moreover, some of these models [2,4] also perform quite well on sections of these recordings that are different from the data used for training. However, as both training and test data consist of voltage traces that are generated by input currents with the same distribution, this approach come at the price that the considered range of inputs is restricted. Hence, the model may not generalize to different input regimes.
In this work, we extend this approach along two directions: First, rather than fitting model parameters to fluctuating voltage traces, we use in-vitro recorded f/I (spike rate over current) curves of cortical layer-5 pyramidal cells in mice, covering the whole range of spike rates up to the point of depolarization block. In this way, the adaptive exponential LIF model (AdEx) [5] is fitted to perfectly match the training set consisting of the f/I curve, and then tested on recordings obtained under fluctuating current input as in previous approaches [2,4]. Second, we derive an analytical approximation to the model [6] which yields a closed expression for the f/I curve. This approach is based on the separation of time scales [6], assuming that the time constant of the adaptive current is much slower than the membrane time constant. Thus, the fitting process can be performed analytically and exactly, which is about one order of magnitude faster than fits produced via numerical integration. The approximated model still produces a remarkably low prediction error on the distinct test set consisting of fluctuating current inputs. Thus, we have created a neuron model which can be adjusted to physiological f/I curves very quickly, which is physiologically realistic in the sense that it generalizes well to independent test sets, and is also mathematically tractable.

Beiersdorf, Inc., the maker of skin cream Nivea, has reached an agreement to settle charges of false advertising with the Federal Trade Commission. The proposed settlement includes a $900,000 fine and prevents the skin cream maker from making representations that regular use of its My Silhouette! skin cream significantly reduces consumers' body size.
According to the FTC administrative complaint, Beiersdorf, Inc. marketed its skin cream My Silhouette! using false claims that by applying the cream's "Bio-slim Complex," consumers would see visual results of weight loss. "The tried and true formula for weight loss is diet and exercise," stated FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz. The company used nationwide television ads and search engine optimization techniques in its advertising campaign. Agreements with Google provided that when consumers searched the words "stomach fat," "Nivea slim silhouette," or "thin waist" on the search engine, they found ads implying that My Silhouette! could tone their stomachs, thin their waists, and help them lose weight.

Copland House to Celebrate John Corigliano's 75th Birthday, 12/1
John Corigliano, the celebrated Oscar-, Pulitzer-, and Grammy-winner and one of the most honored and often-performed American composers of the last quarter-century, who has worked with everyone from Leonard Bernstein and Yo-Yo Ma to film directors Ken Russell and Francois Girard. Plus the Music from Copland House ensemble with acclaimed soprano Amy Burton.
Seven songs in the cycle Mr. Tambourine Man, set to landmark poems by Bob Dylan, plus a work for two pianos that are tuned a quarter-tone apart from each other, a classic violin sonata, and comic songs about music highlight this 75th birthday celebration honoring the famed composer, who will be on hand to introduce his music and lead an audience Q&A.
The concert is set for Sunday, December 1st, 3PM at Copland House at Merestead, 455 Byram Lake Road, Mount Kisco.
Hailed by Aaron Copland as "the real thing [whose] music is quite stunning," Corigliano's work has evoked the ghosts of Mozart, Rossini, and Louis XIV, crossed the centuries in The Red Violin, and honored the victims of AIDS in his massive, Pulitzer Prize-winning 1st Symphony. He has re-set seven of Bob Dylan's iconic lyrics in a kaleidoscopic, intense concert format, ranging from the drug-induced hallucinations of Mr. Tambourine Man and the chilling indictment of the Masters of War to the everyday plainness of Clothes Line and the pure, prayer like Forever Young.
For tickets and other information, call 914-788-4659 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Tickets: $25, Friends of Copland House $20, students $10 (with ID). Visit Copland House on the web.

30 year old woman | Hoboken, NJ, USA | Seeking men 28-32 within 50 miles
Looking for someone who enjoys all the great things life has to offer!
I am hard-working, determined, and ambitious, which is what helped me achieve my dream of becoming a Pediatrician. I love what I do every day and consider my patients to be "my kids". (I obviously didn't join the profession for the money since I chose Pediatrics!) I have amazing friends and family who I am extremely close with. I consider myself lucky to be surrounded by them, and am smart enough to never take those I love for granted. And my match needs to appreciate them just as much as I do! I am a loyal, honest, hopelessly romantic person who takes pride in her appearance with a great sense of humor (I think!). I love to laugh and make those around me laugh just as hard. I wear my heart on my sleeve and don't like playing games. I truly believe that if a man really wants a woman, he would make time for her and do whatever it takes to be with her (and I think the reverse is true too)! Religion is important to me, but not a complete deal breaker. I love watching football. You'll find me watching every game all Sunday long, even if my team isn't playing. I workout often, enjoy going out and trying new places and things, but can have just as much fun staying in and watching a movie in sweats and a tee. I'm looking for an attractive (looks sharp in a suit), successful, intelligent, honest, authentic, family-oriented guy, who can make me smile and laugh and respects my feelings...someone who is willing to enjoy the good life with a girl like me!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Aerobics, Dancing, Football, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Old movies/music. I enjoy all types of music, except country, but don't judge people who do (although I may make fun of you a bit). All things Bravo TV (sorry, it's every woman's guilty pleasure!) I sing and dance in the car more often than I should!
Playing the piano, working out, dancing like no one's watching, laughing at myself, game nights, baking, time with family/friends, karaoke, wine, laying on the beach and listening to the ocean while drinking water from a real coconut, oh and wine :P
Some boring medical journal. Waaa waaa...But I have no choice but to keep up with the rapidly changing medical field!

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Chris Carter finished 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored to lead the Houston Astros to an 8-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday in the rubber match of a three-game set at Safeco Field.
Carlos Pena collected three hits, an RBI and two runs scored, while Rick Ankiel clubbed a two-run homer and Marwin Gonzalez added a solo shot to help the Astros notch their first series victory of the season.
"Everybody's confidence was still up, as a team we had better at bats today and yesterday," Carter said. "Everybody's happy as a team, (to) just go out there and show we can still do it, not to get down, the first two series we got beat pretty good, but this series we came back and hopefully, it keeps rolling."
Brad Peacock (1-1) limited the Mariners to three runs on four hits and a walk over five-plus frames to earn the victory.
Kelly Shoppach went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI, while Franklin Gutierrez accounted for the other Seattle run with his third homer of the season.
Blake Beavan (0-1) allowed five runs -- four earned -- on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings to absorb the loss for the M's, who have lost four of their last five.
"You've got to execute pitches. You can't give up that many hits in two nights and expect to win ballgames," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "You've got to execute pitches, you've got to work hard to get ahead and stay ahead, and when you do, you've got to finish them off. We've just made too many mistakes from a pitching standpoint, and when you do that, it makes it a lot easier for the opposition."
The game got off to an inauspicious start for the Mariners, as Jose Altuve launched Beavan's fourth offering deep into the gap in right-center field.
Seattle right fielder Michael Saunders was able to track the ball down at the warning track, but as he made the catch, he ran full speed into the padded wall. Saunders remained down on the warning track dirt and had to be removed from the contest because of a sprained right shoulder.
After going down in order in the first, Houston got on the board with a three- run second, as Carter started the inning with a single and Pena followed with a double. J.D. Martinez then plated Carter with a sacrifice fly before Ankiel crushed a changeup over the center-field wall to give the Astros a 3-0 lead.
The Astros added to lead in the third, as Jason Castro led off with a high fly ball that shortstop Brendan Ryan lost in the lights, allowing Castro to make his way to second.
Carter followed with a fly out that moved Castro to third before Pena stroked a single to right to make it 4-0. Martinez then scorched a double off the right-field wall to score Pena for a 5-0 advantage.
Seattle's first hit of the game produced the team's first run, as Shoppach smacked a one-out blast in the third to bring the M's within 5-1.
Shoppach scorched a run-scoring double in his next at-bat in the fifth before Gutierrez led off the sixth with an opposite-field homer to trim Seattle's deficit to 5-3.
Houston added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh when Castro stroked a one-out double and Carter followed with a towering fly ball into the bullpen in left field to give the Astros a 7-3 lead.
Gonzalez belted a one-out homer in the eighth to account for the final margin.
It was Houston's third consecutive series victory over the Mariners ...
Houston went 3-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on
base ... Seattle went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and left six on
base ... Seattle LHP Bobby LaFromboise spun a perfect ninth in his major
league debut.

Team USA Shuts Out Venezuela to Begin General Tire World Cup of Softball IX
IRVINE, Calif. – Jolene Henderson (Elk Grove, Calif.) was lights out in the circle for the U.S. in their opening match at the General Tire World Cup of Softball IX the Amateur Softball Association (ASA)/USA Softball announced. Henderson kept Venezuela off the board during her six innings of work, giving up just one hit while striking out three. Jessica Moore (Sutter, Calif.) entered in relief in the final inning, collecting one strikeout and two groundouts to close out the game.

"I think the team came out really strong," said Henderson. "We really built a wall defensively and then came up big offensively, which is what we are really trying to do. We want to keep our opponents at zero so we can get the chance to put up the runs productively. Our defense was just phenomenal making plays today."
Game Seven: USA 5, Venezuela 0
Team USA pieced together nine hits and five RBI to capture a 5-0 win in their opening game of the General Tire World Cup of Softball IX Tuesday evening. It was a huge night offensively for Jessica Plaza (Huntington Beach, Calif.) as the catcher racked up two RBI on one home run in the sixth inning to propel the U.S. forward against Venezuela.
The Red, White and Blue struggled against Venezuela's starting pitcher Maria Gomez, who pitched two consecutive three-up and three-down innings. Michelle Moultrie (Jacksonville, Fla.) broke up Gomez's flawless performance in the top of the third with a two-out single, but was left stranded on first base. The U.S. would add another base runner in the top of the fourth after Hallie Wilson (Tustin, Calif.) singled to center field, but another groundout kept the U.S. off the board. Defensively, the U.S. saw a lot of action throughout the game as Venezuela grounded out 11 times and also collected four outs via fly balls.
It wasn't until the top of the fifth inning that the U.S. would score their first run after Haylie McCleney (Morris, Ala.) singled to left field with two outs. A stolen base put McCleney at second and an errant throw by Venezuela's catcher put McCleney on third for Moultrie, who singled to left field to put the first U.S. run on the board. Team USA would tack on another two runs in the top of the sixth inning after Plaza connected for the two-run home run to put the U.S. up 3-0.
From the circle, Henderson retired every Venezuelan batter through the first five innings before a single by Maribel Riera gave Venezuela their first hit of the game. The U.S. defense continued to shine as Henderson connected with shortstop Kellie Fox (San Diego, Calif.) for a double-play to end the inning.
Kelsey Stewart (Wichita, Kan.) led off the top of the seventh inning with a single to center field. Lauren Gibson (Pasadena, Md.) then followed with an RBI double to left field to plate Stewart and extend the lead to 4-0. Sam Fischer (Simi Valley, Calif.) advanced Gibson to third with a fly ball to center before Wilson connected for her second hit of the game to bring Gibson home. Entering the bottom of the seventh, the U.S. kept the lead at 5-0, which Moore held in tact as she retired three-straight batters to end the game and capture Team USA's first win at the General Tire World Cup of Softball IX.
For Venezuela, Gomez took the loss, giving up six hits and three runs through five and two-third innings. Alondra Perez entered in relief for Gomez during the middle of the sixth inning and gave up three hits and two runs.
Up next for the U.S. is a matchup against the Philippines at 7 p.m. PDT on July 9.
