Damp

Prospective purchasers should be aware that there are some areas of damp within the property. Some previously identified areas have been addressed, although there are areas where damp can still be present.

Damp has been noted to the chimney breast at second-floor level. The vendor advises that this is believed to be associated with the adjoining property, which has been unoccupied. The roof and chimney serving the subject property have been inspected and are not considered to be the source of this particular issue.

There is also some intermittent damp around the fireplace within the living room. This comes and goes and is understood by the vendor to be associated with the local water table.

This information is provided in the interests of transparency. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the condition of the property and any remedial works that may be required and to obtain any specialist reports they consider necessary prior to purchase.
