buyer has pulled out 5 weeks after survey was done. Apparently the house has major damp problems, inside and out. we haven't seen the survey but it also says that the valuation is correct , the Surveyor told us this. How can the valuation be correct if there is such an issue with dampness????
A dampness surveyor came round and found one small area of damp which would cost about 375 to put right. She recons this won't deal with cause of the damp. We have no idea what the cause could be, nor could the damp proofing guy. We have never noticed any damp issues at all.
Now don't know whether to keep house on Market or give up for time being and see how things go. We really need to get a good price for house. We are a good 10 to 20 grand below most of the other asking prices for similar properties, but DH reckons that it's pointless trying to sell before Christmas.
I bloody hate moving house.
