We went to see a house in June 2021. Finally closed in January 2022, having walked away twice. It's so fucking stressful. Ill be taken out of this house in a box!!

Thank you, that's a lovely thing to say.Glad for you and your family, hope you have many years of happiness there.
Even aside from Auctioneers acting the bollocks the fact that the largest purchase you'll ever make is "buyer beware" i think is crazy.
It wouldn't take much for a proportion of the sale price to be held and if any undeclared defects are discovered within 12 months that it be used to fund repairs.
Right now the buyer is 100% on the hook and there is every incentive for a seller to bury problems and brazen it out
Yeah i agree with that but i wouldn't overstate the protection an engineers report will give you. They cant make an opes for inspection of building fabric so its superficial enough and really only protects you from dodgy planning on the extension or whateverAnyone that goes to view a house they are serious about buying without taking an engineer with them is asking for trouble.
Any house new or old is going to give trouble. Thats home ownership but buying a place that has serious problems is only asking for heartbreak.
Got a call from an auctioneer last week out of the blue asking me have I any other property to sell, desperate I tells ya.
