I am in the midsts of purchasing a new house and we have just had the survey back and they have listed Penerating Damp in one of the down stairs rooms. Now as the house is a pretty weird construction I have put together a little diagram which shows the house layout more than any words I could type ever could.
Now I was wondering if anyone had any information or comments on this type of house and how to fix the damp. It is extremely mild damp and is limited to a block about 8 inches in diameter.
I have a specialist coming to look at it tommorow but want additional information so I can step back to the seller to try to get some more money off the price of the house or an idea of the costings involved of other types of treatment.
Is this likely to be a big job or is there some specialist treatment for walls of this nature.
cheers
