Mortgage - check, Surveys - check, Solicitors - Check.
We've also had a quote from a tree surgeon to look at the Eucalyptus tree at the front of the property, as I think it's too close to the house. I spoke to the building surveyor and the solicitors too, and all in the agreement, that the tree should be removed ASAP, but there seems to be no real physical damage to the house, although there appears to be some of the path brickweave lifting from one of the roots.
The building survey also suggested we take a look at the fences and (inevitably) to get the electrics checked.
Scarily, the tree surgeon suggested £300 to remove the tree with a further £100 to grind the stump and treat the roots. I suspect the electrics will not be cheap to check either.
I'm sorting out the house insurance tomorrow.
Life is never cheap!
