Hi my name is Brad, I'm a young 24 year old 1st time buyer!
I've recently just brought a end terraced house great price with alot of potential 95k 3 bed, one with ensuite and down stairs wet room, loft conversion (no regs) and celler (damp)
Great place the only thing that let's it down is no parking and yellow line on front!
Of course it needs renovations and the 1st we have done is buy a dehumidifier for the celler and that's worked and got rid of condensation off the beams for the floor above! Yay had a quote to sort it 4.5k for dpm alone, obviously we don't have that kinda money right now so we wait and get it done in the future.
This is where the problem comes with damp so the room above the celler is going to be our living area (so wood floor with beams) & the room next to it dinning area solid concrete as the celler is only under the living room it's and open plan room and the previous residents had it made open plan.
So we've ripped all the old wallpaper off and started to rip all the carpets open as requested by electrician has we having a rewire I ripped the dinning room carpet and found damp spots all under the area on concrete floor that I believe as been brick tiled and the tiles are popping up in areas I have put the heating on high and put the dehumidifier in there in hope to dry it out but if it comes back what's the best most budget friendly solution to deal with this
