Lets not spend much on all the important things, don't fix anything permanently but bodge over it and spend all our money on a flashy kitchen and interiors.
AgreedThe roof support seemed fairly Ok, as did the extension roof replacement.
But I wasn't sure at all about the work they did on the sidewall. Wasn't there anything else that could have been done instead, certainly before putting in a flash kitchen.
Somehting is not right with this story unless I missed something at the beginning. Did they have no form of survey done at all? Even a mortgage valuation should involve a surveyor looking at the building, and it would have been obvious even from a cursory inspection that there were problems with that house. Someone should be getting sued if there was a survey.

The roof support was OK up to a point but, should have used bolts (not screws) to secure the new supports. Most of the movement on the flank wall looked to be fairly old and, most probably happened over many years of settlement, as witnessed by the old woodwork bodge between floor and wall to cover gap.

The only other sensible option, re the flank wall, would be to rebuild but, the cost of such would only be warranted if further movement was to be observed. All IMO of course.

That was my thoughts too.
Terrible TV.
"Let's see what it would be like if your children were burnt alive."
"Imagine your child's scorched bones on the bed."
"Just because you didn't check what sort of boarding was used in the ceiling."
"Aren't you bad parents?"
"Can you cry a bit more for the cameras, love? Once more, with feeling.""
Beyond satire.

Can people legally buy a property without getting it surveyed, I thought a survey is a necessity for buildings insurance?
