We had an offer accepted on a house late last year. It's a big old house so we had a full survey which noted lots of issues - some urgent (crumbling wall, broken guttering, woodworm), some not. We've had several tradesmen round to quote for the work, which, in total would be ££££. We want to ask for the cost of the most urgent work off the agreed price (which was under the asking price) - this will still be thousands. It's all building/remedial work, no decorative stuff.
Is this reasonable? Will it really irritate the vendors ie, will they think we are trying to gazunder them at a relatively late stage? I think we are in a strong position as they are very keen to sell for various reasons plus we are reaady to exchange once this issue is decided. I don't want to piss them off though.

Tell me, how usual is it to do this - renegotiate the price
