Buying house, got snag list, one worry

bolektrolek

As above, i am soon to be buyer.
New house, finisheed 2008.d
SNag list received today, states:

Attic insulation is 200mm thick, this was as required by regulation as of 2008.
However since 200o regulations have been upgraded and require 300mm now.

Then surveyor suggest to quote builder for cost of adding addiotiinal 100 mm of fibre glass, which will be paid.
Y question is?
Should not this upgrade be for free included in normal fixes from snag list which builder has to do?

Forgive typos, pad device is not best for such kind of postings...

Stick it in the list and see what the builder does. Unless it's a huge attic an extra layer of insulation won't cost that much even if you need to do it yourself.

in the grand scheme of things, it shoudln't make a difference your talking about €100 worth of insulation (thats woodies price, any builders providers should be cheaper)

and about 1 hours labour.

you can ask the builder but din't get to upset if he says no.
