Hi everyone. This site has been a godsend to me over the years but I've never needed to post...until now!
We're selling our house and the buyers survey showed a high damp meter reading in the kitchen on the back wall.
It's a terrace built in 1901 and we've never had damp problems in the 11 years we've been here, though when we purchased the house the same wall did show up a damp reading but the builder we had look at it then said it was probably just due to condensation as there was no ( and still isn't ) a radiator in the kitchen.
Buyers are adamant there is a damp problem but there is no smell and no mould or mildew anywhere. All we have is near the skirting board a 2in x 3in patch of weird bubbling but not big bubbles, just very small as if a blowtorch has been taken to the wall.
Skirting is older than me and there is no rotting to it. There is also nothing to the exterior. No moss on the bricks. Doesn't need pointing.
Any clues to what this could be?
