  • Having owned a VT with a retro fitted concrete floor for two years, I would say steer clear. Concrete is non-porous, the mortar in the walls is very porous, so if there's excessive moisture under the floor it'll come up the walls until it gets above the slab. That said, if he recons the walls are dry it may not be a problem. I have recently found another reason that may behind the moisture under my house being so high, so without that it may be fine.

    Understairs cupboards are always musty, might just need a few vents.

  • yeah, I do wish it was left as it was meant to be. The fact there are no signs of damp and "no rising damp" gives me some confidence but as howard mentioned, probably best to see how much confidence the sellers response to the query gives us.
