When it's raining do the water cascade over the guttering?
Hi,
I don't know is the honest answer. It's a house I've just put an offer in on. Could the problem be gutters need cleaned? I did notice moss on the roof tiles? I just thought it was odd that neighbours either side were fine - no damp patches - but he answered this by saying the house has been empty for a couple of weeks with no heating/lots of rain? Am I worrying over nothing do you think? Home report showed no issues but that's based on visual inspection only. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Carol

For sure the place would need to be on fire to dry that one.....Steve will be bang on here.

From what we see Carol, the rough cast is well drenched from the outside.....I'd be pleased to see the place during a rain storm!
Any sign of weeds growing in the gutter? It would be my guess that the gutters are full of silt and the rain overflows down the back of the gutter, onto the facia and then down onto the wall.
Are there any cracks on the rough cast that you can see? It looks like a good job from here.

Hiya,
Thanks for answering.
No signs of cracks anywhere from what I can see. If my bid for the house is successful (find out this afternoon) it's something I will need to look at more seriously - and with a bit of luck it's just a guttering issue, which a couple of people here and others I've spoken with reckon it might be?
Fingers crossed
Thanks guys
