Hi all - we looking at two houses at the moment but each has an obstacle:

House 1: they have built on the terrace - it looks unfinished and I'd worry about structure safety and planning permission. I'd also prefer it to be a terrace for outdoor space. Is it expensive / difficult to bring down a celing and walls that have been built to cover in the terrace?

House 2: Has Polystyrene Ceiling tiles. I'm concerned about these both from perspective of being a fire hazard/toxic fumes and also in terms of what they might be hiding underneath. Is there a way for a surveyor to check dampness without taking these down and is it expensive to remove them (I know it would depend on the state of the ceiling underneath but just trying to get some idea of possible work / costs etc).

Many thanks
