Hello,
We're looking to buy a house and have just spotted damp (we didn't notice 6 months ago when we first started the buying process). The garage has been converted into a bedroom, outside under the window there's an area that's just over a metre that's damp, you can feel the difference by hand compared to the surrounding area.
There's a small drip above the damp patch which I believe may be causing the issue.
What's the best way to investigate this? Can someone give me an approximate cost of repair?
I essentially want to go back to vendors and ask for them to repair or contribute to a fix as I want to make sure it's not going to be horrendously expensive.
I've attached a recent picture of the damp, plus one from 6 months ago, as well a short video showing the leaking gutter and damp on the wall.
Thanks
