Andy Rowland Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 You could get one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rapitest-RAPDTM118-Damp-Test-Meter/dp/B0001P0JZU and test it yourself to see if it really is damp. quite acurate and will give you a guide :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirduke Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Get the damp meter on hire, check it yourself and assume the buyer was telling the truth. Why is it that vendors always expect the £800 survey the purchaser pays for when it turns out the vendor hasnt looked after their property correctly!!! One day the system will be that the vendors pay for a full survey as part of the HIP and the price is added to the purchase price...it would sort these types of problems out from the offset.

SteadyOn Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Whatever you do don't use Sentinel for anything to do with damp - they made a bad assesment for us and one year on, after paying alot of money and having a lot of work done our kitchen is still damp, as bad as before.

Steelfinger Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 These plasterers offer damp proofing http://sheffieldplasterers.com/ It's probably a good idea to get advice from a few tradesmen/experts to see if you get the same story regarding a fix.

malaikaa Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) I hate those damp meters! Holes everywhere!! Get an independant surveyor in. I am soooo suspisious of all this type stuff now. There is one in Homfirth with a great web site if you want a good read. p Doyle I think. You can goole it. I think if you love a house and the vendor is happy to admit that there may be small problems, then a lot of seriuos people would still buy the house. I bet there isn't a house or survey out there that finds a 100% 'dry' house. Edited October 8, 2010 by malaikaa Can't type very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
