Is it normal to have solid floor in the livingroom then suspended in the diningroom and hallway? Also I cant see how air bricks would give any ventilation through a solid floor to the suspended in the adjacent room unless it was ducted?

The crack to the bay window are in the front bedroom (first floor). There are cracks either side of the wall from under the window sill to the ground and also hair line cracks running from the ceiling to the window sill. I know that the windows have been replaced twice. The original ones where a...

They are diagonal :/ There is a few pics

We have had 2 people out to the property so just waiting on the report back hopefully this week. I assume both have turned up with spirit levels! There are noticeable cracks in the bedrooms that come through the old wallpaper from the ceiling down the wall. It is an old property so its expected...

There are a few more things that need attention. The damp and timber is just one of them. For some reason the upstairs front bedroom feels like its sloping. Don't know whether that could be subsidence or the flooring. There is also pull marks to the bay windows which suggests they haven't...

I am really hoping were wrong on this as it sounds like a disaster. But its been pointed out to us by a building contractor that its solid floor. The flexing of the floor on the report was noted in the dining room area which is adjacent to the living room and that has suspended floor so all...

Very frustrating. Unless your going to fix the damp first which from the report, sounds like they havent then applying concrete to the flooring will only mask the problem. But like you said, thus making it harder to fix.

The vendor wont allow any access to the flooring as they have said the vinyl flooring may be damaged in the process and then if we walk away from the property, the damage costs sit with them. That concerns me slightly because 1. why would you say "if we walk away once the intrusive survey has...

You would think the owner of the property would be aware of this, if this is the reason for the floor being concrete? The only reason it has been flagged up is when we had a building contractor walk around the property a few weeks ago and he mentioned the floor in the living room being solid...

It sounds horrendous doesn't it if all the above is correct. Is this something the seller should be aware of the floor being concreted? Basically the issue we have is we have little information on the history for the owners of that property. We believe it was bought in the 60s by the lady who...

Thanks for your response John. I have been told several times today that they may have filled the floor to make it solid. The only thing i don't know is why it has been done. Like you said it could be as its cheaper to replace any rotting timbers. Or is it an insulation method? Would it...

We are purchasing a 1930s 3bed terrace house. The survey has flagged up possible damp in the floor timbers/joists although we aren't able to check the flooring due to the seller not allowing this therefore I want to build a decent enough case so we can get the price reduced. 1. We have been...
