4. Get a ladder and check that roof!

That's all for now! Good luck

We were also curious on the move- they were renting in a different area but couldn't afford to buy there. But their daughter remained at school there, so now they have made a little money on the house they are moving back to be near the school. They've already found a house they want to move to. Unless they are very creative liars I'm happy with that explanation.

I'm hoping they do have their survey still from last time, I need to ask how old it is and what the roof is made out of etc. If it needs replacing soon then not necessarily a deal breaker (its not huge) but we'll have to factor it into the price.

Thanks for the advice!
