    Seeing a few properties listed as having been "recently fully remediated with certs available".

    Wondering what the story is with these... if any futher problems arise, is whoever issued the cert on the hook for the repairs? Is there any way of gauging the likelihood of future problems etc?

    If a house has been re mediated then the stone with the Pyrite has been removed and replaced with Pyrite free stone-this will be certified from the supplier of the stone. An acredited engineer will have been overseeing the repairs and providing a sign off that the repairs have been done to the NSA protocols that are in place so there should be a low risk or no risk of future problems manifesting regarding Pyrite.

    Ring the engineer who issued the cert for the works to verify they happened. Its a lot of money to do. Some people might try to pull a fast one.

    The seller should have the remediation paperwork as part of the documentation for the house.

    All very well in theory, would a bank be happy to lend... to me it wouldn't be worth the risk I'd look else where no matter what. If the house was fixed 10 years ago and was still OK then I'd start to think about it.
