Exterior Wall Cladding Concerns

[wilson48]

Hi All,

We live in an 8 year old "new build" house (if 8 years is still classed as new build) and has some white exterior wall cladding from when it was built. We are looking to move property and our purchaser had a home survey done on our house - which we have no issue with. One of things flagged is the apparent "low-grade" exterior wall cladding beause of these little chips in 3 corners.

They claim this is "low grade materials" (but couldnt explain what a high grade material is/make/brand/should look like) and I'm wondering , after 8 years would these little marks be of serious concern or normal wear and tear? Yes, They are little chips, and I acknowledge that, but its not like huge chunks have fallen off?

We have never had any problems with the cladding - at least to our knowledge - but thought I'd ask here for any views.

Thankyou for your time

Mark.

They look to be purely aesthetic and won't affect the performance of the cladding, probably done prior to or during their installation.

The surveyor is being unprofessional and is making non-factual silly comments.

Don't start a discussion, hopefully the buyer will just dismiss it as the nonsense it is.

Thanks for your feedback - some of the comments they have made are extremely superficial but I'm trying to cover all my bases and I'm not an expert in knowing if there is really a problem with this cladding or not. Its been like this for years and never had an issue.
