Good afternoon everyone and sincerely hope you are all well. I have to sincere apologise for my late reply between, work, family and house sale life has been extremely busy. Thank you greatly for all your replies, I deeply appreciated as this has been one of the most difficult decisions I have had to consider and exiting also, nonetheless. Therefore, all the knowledgeable advice that I have received is invaluable. I will try to answer as many questions as I can, although, there are some which I am still trying to find out myself via estate agent. -Yes, it is the boat in York as shown in the picture. - I did asked if I could performed a survey on the boat but was told a recent one was done - as mentioned previously. - The reason given of why another survey wouldn't be feasible was first; just had one done, the boat would have to have the survey done in Hull and the cost will be of around £ 3,000. Although, I would have paid for it, so it made me wary. - Within my last conversation with them ( estate agent) I expressed my concerned including insurance issues, I haven't seen the survey and after all your comments / answers I am even more wary about and I am preceding with caution. - I did ask to see if it would be possible to see the boats paper work at the beginning of my interest in it. However, it was mentioned that things would need to be at a more formal stage for them to realise the papers - I will clarify what exactly does this means. - Regarding, land. I was assured that I should not have any problems as the land has been transferred from owner to owner. I am aware that one can find big issues with this since at times this is not transferable. So it makes me cautious. - I think, if I remember correctly their was an enquiry regarding mortgage. Not looking to take one or have a loan so it is a big responsibility this possible purchase. I hope you are all able to see my reply since as mentioned previously I am so new to this. Once again, truly appreciate all your kind advice and answers to my question, Ana

Hello, and I hope everyone is well and safe. I am new to this and I am in need of some help please. I am currently selling my family home and considering moving into a boat. I found one which I truly love and obtain as much information about it via the estate agent and have had 2 viewings already. Is a 100 year old classic barge being sold with mooring rights, and freehold ownership of River Bank. The barge has been very well maintain, engine changed 2016, boiler / central heating and more work on it has been done recently - It had a service and survey in July this year, so when I asked about how feasible it would be for me to perform my own survey it was mentioned that it wouldn't be feasible due to having to transfer the barge from one place to a completely different location, complicated by the size which financially will make it extremely expensive. So I have been wondering for the last 2 days on what to do, since I can see the vital importance of having a survey done and wondering if any of you have come across any situation like this? Where you weren't able to perform a survey on a boat prior buying it? or risks and implications of doing this. I will greatly appreciate any guidance or advice Thank you once again Ana
