Hi all,
Have a second viewing of a Victorian terraced property tomorrow.
Like the house but main issue I can see is the surface of the chimney breast highlighted in upstairs bedroom (green) and downstairs dining room (blue).
Chimney is lacking flashing on the left side as you can see but from the picture in the loft I can't see any major signs of water ingress?
I'm therefore assuming it is caused by breast not being ventilated but would value your opinion guys? It will need replastering but would air brick in the blue wall help prevent same issue?
