In the above picture there are three buildings. Im interested in getting the top one. My concern is that its attached to the other two (roof forms a gutter with the wall) making it prone to water damage if not taken care properly.
The top side is also facing north west and the building on the right (one with the number 14), that is facing south will probably block all the sun (which is rare in the UK).
These things bother me a lot and under normal circumstances I wouldnt consider it, but it is relevant cheap, which is rare in the current house market, and in a good area. (I also have many questions around natural insulation, and making the building damp proof, but I will save those for a different thread)
Thoughts?
Apologies if this is not the right community but I couldnt find anything else as close as this one.
You didn’t get a lot of replies because it’s hard to see on your super low resolution photo what’s going on. Also if it’s such a big purchase as a house, I don’t recommend to listen to strangers on the internet, me neither. It’s usually recommended to find an civil or structural engineer or an architect who can go with you and can help in the decision. It’s nearly impossible to judge complex situations only through photos.
So I recommend to reach out to local offices. If they can’t help you at least they can direct you to someone doing this kind of basic inspection for you.
i was hoping for a few insights before I make an offer. (After the offer Im planning on doing all a full survey on the building)
Hey,
I can’t really tell what’s going on in the picture - it is extremely low-quality, can’t even understand whether it’s a building.
If you’re considering a purchase I would recommend asking for professional advice. The fee for 1-2 hours consultation for an architect would be much more reasonable than a deposit for an ill-advised property.
