Afternoon all,
Just had a survey done on a flat that's part of a large estate and whilst the details of findings haven't been released yet, the surveyor has agreed with the value of the flat (so that's good) but disagrees with the service charges. He states they will be higher, so the bank is reducing the mortgage amount by a few k.
Does this sound like the surveyor thinks the property and/or estate as a whole will need significant work in the coming years, or is it just a spot of covering his behind due to the pretty much standard service charge rises that come year on year?
