I have checked the v useful damp FAQs but this is a matter of costs. Hope someone can help!
I am considering buying a 3 bed terraced Victorian house in Hove, about half a mile from sea and south facing garden. This will be my first purchase, and i cannot afford to make too many errors!
The price is OK, but it's pretty obvious to me that there is a damp problem - mainly in the in the south facing walls, and not just at first 4 foot ground level up but also the upper bed too.
Back wall is painted but looks like some cracks have been sealed up. Some re-pointing maybe nec.
I'm assuming that full damp treatment will be nec. There's no current info available from landlord who is in USA.
Wd anyone have a best and worst case scenario as to cost of having house sorted? Assuming back wall repointing too?
many thanks
