Has flagged high levels of damp on walls
If they used a damp meter thingy aren't these prone to being wildly wrong on walls rather than timber it's designed for?
So perfectly normal walls will show whopping moisture measurements?
I'm no expert but I'd want to see more evidence than that

Run a dehumidifier for a week then tell them to check again.
Given it’s a flat, what are they going to get a quote for?

Buyer has had a surveyor on my flat (raised ground floor, period conversion). Has flagged high levels of damp on walls. Concerned it could affect the timber.
So he wants a quote. Not sure what for yet. But obviously any fucker he sends round is gonna quote for the full whack.
Meh. Internally walls are perfect. Zero signs of damp. No condensation. No roof for problems to come from. And pretty much every period property is gonna show signs of damp in walls at ground level.
So... I don't agree to pay for anything right? Especially a damp proof course. Given that it's in really really good condition.
