Today the surveyors report finally arrived, and was pretty much as we expected. However there does seem to be a significant amount of damp, but subject to what our friendly buikder has to say, should cause us any problems.. Most of the other stuff will be covered by any refurbishment that we intend to do.

He's valued it at 10k under the price that it was offered for sale, which must be his 'thing' as he did exactly the same with the first bungalow that we looked at.
