I imagine that it's a bit harder to convince a prospective buyer, but I've come round to the 'no such thing as rising damp' viewpoint. Our 1930s survey flagged damp in one wall in the kitchen. There was a collapsed gutter directing loads of water to the base of that wall, so we fixed that. Just had it replastered in the recent wet weather and it dried right away.
I think we did get a damp survey done which suggested work, but it was a free evaluation so take with a pinch of salt.
