I remember watching a co-worker reading a copy of the report on the house he was selling, which the buyer's mortgage lender's wanted him to fix before the money could be advanced. His wife had opened it and brought it over to the factory for him to see.

Apparently there was woodworm and dry rot in windowsills and flooring of the front room.

The windowsills and the floor were both concrete.

He went home at lunchtime to phone the relevant people - I wish I'd been there to hear just half of the conversations.

Oh the fun and games there can be in the acquisition of property, but at least once it is done and the first flurry of painting and decorating is over things tend to settle down.

May you be able to sit and reminisce about the appraisal due to it being the last significantly problematic thing in the ownership of the property.
