Proposed works: Buying a flat?


Hi

I recently made an offer to buy a maisonette which was accepted and it is still on the process even if I have not exchanged contract yet as mortgage lender is still reviewing.

Today I have received email from my property agent and it says the property needs proposed works to be carried out to the block and I have to pay for around £3000. I have no idea of what the proposed works is and never thought of this extra cost because the property agent have never mentioned about it before.

Could you someone kindly let me know what the proposed works is and what it is for?

And do I have to pay for this? Or seller should pay for this?

I am in very tough budget and never thought of that extra £3000.

I would be grateful if someone advise me.

Thank you.

Would this be dumb, I found a house and?


I get disability and it would cover the mortgage for this house I want. And I'd have some money leftover depending how high my interest rate would be. I don't have any credit (even though I paid my car off) so idk how that would affect me getting a loan and the price of the mortgage. It's in an area I'd like to live in. And I plan on living there for at least a few years, so I'd rather buy than rent. I might live there the rest of my life. I'm not worrying about meeting a guy and all that or a family. It'll happens when it does and he's not gonna control where I live unless I agree. But anyway, good idea or no?
Added (1). I get paid from going to school as well.
Added (2). Talking about homeowners insurance. It say that would only cost like 20 a month. All that is included in the mortgage.
Added (3). I get around 1700 A month total from.school and disability
Added (4). And I can also put down a good down payment
Added (5). I have plenty of clothing. I'm on my moms insurance. So medical bills are very low.
