Structural Survey- Cavity Wall Ventilation

Bella86

Hi

I had a structural survey completed on a house that I have gone sale agreed on. Everything seemed to be in order with the expcetion, that there is not roof or cavity wall ventilation and it is required for building regulations.  The house was built in 2005 and they should have been put in place at the time but they weren't..  The house is a bank sale (house reposed).  We definitely plan on getting this done as soon as we get the house as we understand that this is quite important...

My question is, I have been reading that this may have an impact on drawing down the mortgage as the house is not in line with building regulations, does anyone know if this is the case?  What could we possibly do?

Would greatly appreciate any information on this..

Have the bank asked for a copy of the structural report?

If the bank are only sending out a valuer (as is the norm) to do a valuation it wont be picked up on.

No the bank haven't requested one but the vendors solicitor has and so has mine solicitor.. Does my solicitor need to share it with the bank?  Or would he have a legal obligation to do so?

Op: what do you mean by this:
that there is not roof or cavity wall ventilation and it is required for building regulations.

I also don't follow the bank wanting a copy of your survey?
Is the bank not the vendor?

If so you will be buying as is, warts and all.

If you have gone sale agreed, then is this not all bit moot?
