Yeah you'd have thought it'd show the cause. But no, just says rising damp coming up from under the floor.
I have my opinions based on the site topography and what I can see of below ground drainage systems as to where the water might be coming from. I mean I think it's unlikely that the house is built on a spring or artesian well.

Are you sure that it's a damp report, and not just used toilet paper that you're reading?
For srs though - that seems like a frustratingly poor report.
Did they actually take the floor up & look? I would have ( guessed there would be details on if there is a slate / pitch DPC, and if it has been breached inside / outside at all.

As I understand it, depending on the lender and on who did the Home Report, the lender who will want a RCIS Scotland registered mortgage valuation. Chances are they will want an independent one.
I'd probably still limit my question to 'What valuation/survey do you require?' And then find a registered historic building specialist.They might put a retention on the mortgage requiring remedial work to be done, they will check that it has been done.

It's more that the report might show the actual cause of any damp, and allow you to plan on how to fix it.
