Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification. What format would it be in? Ethernet, or normal telephone lead?

Will do. I am just a little concerned that there is no ventilation to outside in this fairly small kitchen. I think it would quite quickly fill with fumes and condensation without something. Re circulation can't be that good can it?

Going into floorspace may be a pest as the bathroom is above and it has tiles laid. I think your second suggestion of running above cupboards would be better. Do you think this would be a costly job to get someone in to do?

It could well be. Though strange that the stainless steel runs all the way to the top of the ceiling. I will arrange a second viewing and see if I can get a model number of something to check with.

Thanks for your post. All I could find was the grey box attached to the corner of the house just where the gas box is. It doesn't have any markings and has a couple of quite thick black cables coming into it.

Thanks very much for your post. Bathroom overflow - what you say is interesting as there used to be two overflows. You can just see the hole for the other one above the boiler flue? If I took a look in the cistern, is there an easy way for me to tell if it has an internal overflow? How best...

Wow, I think you and I would get along well. You have highlighted a number of things I noticed, but didn't suggest in the OP as it would have dragged on too much! Do you think the downstairs powerpoint cables would go up to the floor space between downstairs and upstairs bedrooms? I didn't...

Hi there, I am looking to buy my first property. I have found a mid 70-s house in a residential street. I was really surprised to find that the house has no telephone points anywhere and no TV connectors. I wondered at first if the previous owners had been religious, as I know some religions do...

I am looking to buy my first home. Have found a really nice mid-70s place which has been recently refurbished. Everything looks good other than wiring. Consumer unit is not 70s, looks like 90s. There are quite a few plug sockets, but most are singles which is odd. There is just one single in the...

Hello there, I am looking at purchasing a property. Built in the mid 70's, it was it was bought by a guy two years ago interested in doing places up and selling them on. He has fitted it out well, the kitchen is all nice and new with a new oven hood, but I am puzzled as to why the oven hood does...

Ok, so do you think I should open it up a little and then fill in the cracks and go over the top? What do you recommend I fill it with?

I have no idea. How can I check this?

I fell into one of our plaster walls back in the summer and unfortunately, damaged it a little. What is the best way for me to fix it? Someone has suggested poly filler or builder's caulk but I can't say I am that experienced in fixing something like this. I have only ever filled a screw hole...

I live in the South East where sadly, the house prices are unrealistic compared to salary rates. I could either buy a run down place and have it done up, or I could consider the government backed "self-build". Provided I could find some land in my local area, would this prove more beneficial...

It is just two years old and current occupants moved in from new. From what I have seen so far, structure looks to be sound. Just worried that some of the more minor details have been missed on this place. This would be at the top end of my budget so there would not be any spare cash to put...

Thanks, yes I was wondering if we could go up into the void but exactly as you said, I was concerned about which way the joists may be running. Directly above is a bathroom with vinyl flooring which would be a pest to remove and re-lay. With your second suggestion, I presume you mean taking...

Ok thanks. I noticed that the upstairs bedrooms smelt a little damp (it'a a loft conversion). I am wondering if there is a lack of air circulation up there. Should I be looking out for the odd vented roof tile on the roof to indicate some provision of ventilation for the upstairs rooms?

Hello. I am looking to purchase my first property and would like to modernise and replace the current kitchen. How difficult would it be for me to install an extractor fan above the cooker in this kitchen (on the red wall)? There is a combi gas boiler to the right with an exhaust leading...

Hi there, I would be really grateful if someone could point me in the right direction. We are looking to buy this two year old property and my brother, who works in the building trade has taken a look over some pictures I sent him and mentioned the following: He noted that one of the posts...

Any ideas what might cause that?
