刚今天拿到SURVEY的报告，有几个问题，大家帮我看看严不严重阿，如果修的话需要多少钱？谢谢大家了
房子大概1960建的
1）The main walls are finished in brick and plastic cladding, measure approximately 170-325mm thick and are assumed to be of a mixture of cavity, solid and timber framed construction.There are signs that the property has been affected by past structural movement as evidenced by cracking to the rear elevation and gable wall (internally). So far as can be seen from this single inspection the movement appears to be long-standing and does not appear to be progressive.
There is evidence of a modern bituminous strip damp-proof course to the main walls. Systematic checks for dampness to the inside face of external walls reveals
there is none of significance.
There is a risk that metal ties built into a cavity wall built before 1982 will corrode.
There are no obvious signs to suggest that they have corroded, but the need for
eventual wall tie replacement should be anticipated.
Deterioration is evident to the wall surfaces including localised areas of weathered
pointing and repairs are required.不知道这样的情况修的话需要多少钱呢？会不会是subsidence造成的呢？
2)penetration to enclosed areas beneath, which can cause rot and decay.这个是说厨房Built-in fittings (built-in kitchen and other fittings,not including appliances)。还有就是之前的房主改过厨房，所以这次的报告里就提到The property has been altered including extending the kitchen accommodation into
the former access passage to the rear. Legal adviser to confirm that Local
Authority approvals were obtained and complied with. There will be complications
if you proceed without the relevant documentation for works that have been
carried out.这个是要怎么去find out呢，直接打去council 问吗？
3）整个房子里没有heat and smoke alarm
4）电，gas,water最近12个月都没有service过，boiler也是12个月内没有service过
The mains electricity is connected with the meter and consumer unit located in an
external meter cupboard.
I am advised that there is no recent test certificate, dated within the last 12 months,
for the installation. An electrician must inspect the system. See J3.
Arrange for a qualified electrician (e.g. NICEIC/ECA registered) to test the
installation and provide a report and quotation for any recommended work with a
subsequent test certificate when completed.
The mains gas supply is connected with a meter located in external services box.
I am advised that there is no recent test certificate, dated within the last 12 months,
for the gas supply and appliance(s). See J3.
Arrange for a report and quotation from a Gas Safe registered engineer for any
recommended work with subsequent test certificate.
A mains water supply is connected. A stopcock is located in the pavement.
The plumbing where visible is in copper tubing.
The plastic cold water storage tank is located in the roof space.
The cold water storage tank does not meet current requirements regarding lagging.
Central heating is provided by a ‘Baxi Bermuda SP3’ wall mounted gas fired back
boiler located in the lounge fireplace supplying the radiators throughout the accommodation.
The appliance is fitted with a conventional flue which discharges via a purpose
made ridge vent at the top of the roof space.
Heating systems of this type require correct servicing and maintenance to ensure
efficiency and safety. The boiler has not been serviced within the past 12 months
and I recommend a test and service of the system by a heating engineer. See J3.
The heating system is dated. Although functional it should be regarded as
approaching the end of useful life and replacement should be anticipated. I
recommend you budget for renewal. It has a poor energy efficiency rating and
running costs may be high.
You should ensure that the flue serving the is properly lined and an appropriate
terminal vent fitted. I recommend you obtain further advice.
Ventilation to the back boiler may be inadequate and need improvement in the
interests of safety. Further specialist advice must be obtained.
Hot water is provided by the central heating boiler. There is a hot water storage
cylinder located in the airing cupboard and fitted with an immersion heater.
The hot water system is dated and it is likely to be approaching the end of useful
life. Although functional you should budget for replacement.
The system has not been serviced within the past 12 months. I recommend a test
and service of the system by a heating engineer

是不是Boiler 快要換新的? Baxi Bermuda SP3’ wall mounted gas fired back boiler大致多老了
不好意思问题比较多，实在是不太懂所以放上来问问大家，希望大家给点意见，这些问题如果全部解决的话会不会要花太多钱? 弄起来嘛不麻烦，如果太大工程我就不要这个房子了，谢谢大家了
