If the property is being sold with a pool it is reasonable for buyers to expect it to in working condition.
Has the vendor declared it needs a new liner ? If so the vendor is taking this into account when setting his selling price.
If the need for a new liner has not been declared by the owner it becomes part of the sale negotiations.
It should be possible to obtain a devis from a pool specialist to establish the cost of a new liner and this would be a good basis for starting the negotiations.
10 years is an average lifespan of a liner so I would not anticipate that the vendor is likely to finance the full cost of your enjoyment of the pool - it boils down to being fair and reasonable in the negotiation process - along with other typical potential defects such as updating electrics or a non compliant fosse septique.
I read this a couple of days ago. I donât actually like this house, but I do like the methodology.
We knocked down our family home in 2001 , everything except the facade, and rebuilt with lots of super insulated Swedish alu clad glass doors. Had we been able to use a system like Huf Haus it would have made things a lot simpler, quicker and more eco.
I spent weeks visiting prefab housing companies in Germany and around. There is even a « village » which has houses from all the different manufacturers. Except Huf of course.
Is there an insurance premium for houses made from wood? It seems likely when the climate is responsible for a lot of fires. I imagine close to woodland they may be expensive to insure.
Many houses are timber framed. It is not an issue.
If there is itâs very reasonable. But then, @Fabien and his crew are mustard at good value insurance.
I did wake up in the wee small hrs, as you do when a 
thought breaks thruâ. My house is, in essence, a plywood shack with double glazing. I have no need of wall plugs to screw stuff to the walls [interiorâ that is]. The screws just go straight into plywood.
So, the thought was, âIf my house burnt down [would take about 45 mins, I reckon] would the insurance, assuming it paid anything, pay for a new house to current standards or only another plywood shack?â
I called next morning and was reasurred that a âproperâ house would be built. Meanwhile, I am trying to âadd valueâ to the atelier by doing âuna chapuzaâ to its floor.
A flaminâ gt crack ran across the middle one day. The front end of the floor had dropped +/- 130mm
But I had a cunning plan.
Dead level now, as it never was, because you can see from the angle of the building/roof that it had already sagged at the front before the window was installed. They squared that up. So Iâm not the first to bodge this thing
But my bodge is âuna chapuzaâ, Spanish for âa bodge with a good outcomeâ. 
Going to add hundreds to the value ⊠
