  • 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.

  • 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.
