they usually hold back the amount it will cost to put it right until you have put it right.

I did consider asking the owner but the house is repossesed and owned by the lender.the house is at an extremely knock down price and i doubt they would fix it. also i wont be geeting a mortgage so that wont be a problem . thanks for the advice.
i viewed the house again and i think ive found the cause of the damp, all the gutters are broken and are overflowing, possibly leaking back into the house wall cavity. Does this sound like a possible cause???
