We are (or were before the little current difficulty) searching for a replacement boat. We found one that seemed suitable but were unable to reach agreement with the vendor on fixing the defects found at survey so we withdrew our offer. The broker was involved in the negotiations and had sight of the relevant parts of the survey. We're still keeping an eye on the market hoping to resume our search when this lot blows over. I notice that the broker has re-advertised the same boat, at the same price with no mention of a previous survey revealing defects. Is this common practice? If it is then presumably one must ask specifically if the boat has previously been rejected after survey before commissioning ones own survey.
