We’re using Microsoft Intune and have paused Windows quality updates across the firm due to issues with the June cumulative update (KB5060829) affecting P4W.

Our engineering team advised that Intune can’t uninstall a specific KB. The Uninstall latest quality update action only removes the latest cumulative update, so without changing the overall update/build configuration it isn’t practical for us to roll back only the affected devices.

If we resume updates and more users are affected, is there another approach?For example, could we package a script/app in Company Portal that allows affected users to uninstall KB5060829 themselves and roll back to the previous cumulative update, or is that not supported for modern Windows cumulative updates?

First-time buyer here. My surveyor said the structure of the conservatory and garage alteration looks fine but told me to check the legal side with my solicitor.
My solicitor replied:

“There is no documentary evidence relating to the works, but the sellers confirmed they were completed more than 10 years ago and are outside the local authority enforcement period.”

Would this concern you, or is this fairly common with older properties?

Buying a 1932 semi. We agreed £290k but the RICS Level 2 survey valued it at £280k and recommended renegotiation.

The main issues were roof repairs (cracked/loose tiles and ridge mortar), possible damp where the cause couldn’t be identified, and movement in the suspended timber floor needing further investigation.

Would you approach the estate agent now and try to renegotiate based on the survey, or pay for independent roof and damp/timber inspections first? I’d rather not spend hundreds on specialist quotes if the seller isn’t willing to move on the price anyway. Interested to hear how others have handled this.

Buying a 1932 semi and my Level 2 survey flagged roof repairs (cracked/loose tiles and ridge mortar), possible rising damp from high moisture readings (cause couldn’t be identified), and movement in the suspended timber floor.

Would you negotiate the price based on the HomeBuyer report alone, or is it worth getting an independent roofer and damp/timber specialist to inspect and provide quotes first? Is that the normal approach?

Thanks

Hi all,

I’ve just had a **RICS Level 2 Survey** carried out on a **1930s semi-detached house** that I’ve had an offer accepted on.

The surveyor said it’s a **reasonable proposition for purchase**, but recommended renegotiating as they feel the agreed price is too high.

The main issues highlighted were:
Cracked and loose roof tiles with ridge/hip mortar needing repair.
Original roof with no felt (normal for its age), and to budget for reroofing in the future.
Possible rising damp in the reception room and kitchen (specialist damp report recommended).
Hallway suspended timber floor has excessive movement and needs investigation.
No recent EICR or Gas Safe boiler service record seen.
Some general age-related maintenance such as pointing, render cracks, misted double glazing and ageing flat roof felt/conservatory seals.

Has anyone had a similar survey on a 1930s property? Do these findings sound fairly typical, or is there anything here you’d be particularly concerned about? Any advice on what you’d investigate further or negotiate on would be appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a good, honest roofer in Birmingham?

I’ve had a RICS Level 2 survey on a 1930s semi. It flagged cracked/loose tiles and deteriorated ridge mortar, but said to budget for reroofing in the future rather than replace it now. I’m looking for someone who can give an honest inspection and written quote—I’m not looking to be sold a full new roof if repairs are all that’s needed. Any recommendations would be appreciated
