I'm due to complete in 2 weeks and a damp survey has shown rising damp.ive had a quote to fix it for £2000 +vat.this doesn't include plastering or decoration.
There is also a hole in the roof that may need scaffolding to get to it(cost about £500)
It's an end terrace and I've paid full price.
What would you be asking the sellers to contribute or wouldn't you.bearing in mind I'm having to pay £350 for the range cooker!
I know they're pretty skint as they're downsizing.
Never bought a house before so want to make sure I don't mess up.is rising damp an urgent matter and does it need to be done?the seller did mention it came up in their survey 5 years ago but they didn't do anything about it and according to them it's no worse !?!
