Most property sales follow a predictable path: offer, survey, mortgage, exchange, and then completion. But when structural issues come to light at the wrong moment, even sales that look certain can unexpectedly fall apart.
This was the situation faced by a client of ours who had already exchanged contracts and was just weeks away from completion. A late-stage inspection raised concerns about the steel frame, putting the entire transaction at risk.
We quickly arranged an inspection to confirm the extent of the corrosion. Our team completed the necessary repairs efficiently, using specialist expertise to ensure quality and durability. All work was finished within the agreed timeframe, and we obtained a structural engineer’s certificate. This ensured a sound structure and allowed the transaction to proceed on schedule.
The sale went through as expected. The certification gave everyone confidence in the property’s structure, which helped the process go smoothly and protected both the homeowner and buyer from unexpected problems or delays.
Even if problems arise late in a sale, they don’t have to stop the process. With the right help and quick action, repairs and certification can keep your sale on track. We can work around your requirements, even if they are complex.
