Afternoon all,
We had a purchase on our house fall through as the chap who did the homebuy ers survey recommended that a damp proof course be installed as there were signs of rising damp in both the reception rooms. Buyer had a major panic at the quotes to get this done and pulled out.
Now as far as I can tell there are no signs whatsoever of rising damp on ei ther the interior or exterior walls, the interior plaster is bone dry. The re was penetrating damp in one of the bedrooms but that was solved by repla cing the knackered wooden windows.
I?m assuming the surveyor found damp using one of those damp meter device s, so to come to the point, how should I proceed with this with the view of getting it sorted so the next buyer doesn?t get the same issue raised by their surveyor? I?m rather adverse to spending money for something that I really don?t think needs doing!
Thanks
S
