Property assessment for a cash buyer

Property Assessment Summary

Following a recent inspection carried out on behalf of a cash buyer, two key structural concerns were identified:

  1. Lack of Lintels Above Windows
    It was observed that several windows lacked appropriate lintel support. While this issue is not uncommon and could be rectified by engaging a suitable contractor (or sourcing your own team), the required work would be relatively straightforward and cost-effective.
  2. Structural Concern in Roof Valley Beam
    A more significant issue was noted within the roof structure. The beam supporting the roof valley exhibited a visible crack, suggesting structural compromise. This would likely require replacement or, at minimum, evaluation by a structural engineer to determine a safe and appropriate remedy.

Based on these findings, the buyer opted not to proceed with the purchase. A suitable alternative property was secured successfully two weeks later.
