Hey all.
Viewed a house today in an area I like. It has potential and feel it could be one I put an offer in for.
However, the detached garage is pebble dash concrete with a corrugated steel roof. The garage is absolutely shagged. It has major leaks and handfuls of concrete can be pulled out the walls. I would use the space, probably for a car, as I would bodge the roof with something cheap like a plastic sheet as a temporary fix. In the medium term it requires pulling down and a new one put up.
Obviously I would expect the seller to consider that the garage requires a digger driving through it. All the neighbours have had new brick garages built and they look good.
What would a garage cost, for a decent size single garage:
- Concrete with flat roof
- Brick with flat roof
- Brick with tile roof (apex)
I am afraid I am no builder, nor know of any.
