Hi Marilyn To be honest there aren't any really good options here, I wouldn't recommend buying such a property as you are quite possibly buying lots of problems. Building regulations are there to prevent future problems with cold, condensation, damp and subsidence to name a few. The only real way improve such space would be to pull down and start again, this should all have been picked up by a surveyor and it would quite possibly reflect in any sell on price Martin
