How Much to Fix DPC Issue

[ZaraW]

I've seen a house I want to make an offer on. Bought a friend along whose quite good at DIY. He was impressed with the house apart from mentioning someone has partly buried the DPC all along the gable wall, with the driveway. Does anyone know how expensive an issue this will be to resolve?

Any signs of damp along that wall inside? It depends what the drive is made of, but sorting this would probably involve digging a French drain to allow rain water to drain away.

wowfudge not that we could see, the interior and exterior wall did not feel/look damp. After doing a search online there are experts who are very dismissive of rising damp.

Thank you I've never heard of a French drain looks interesting. The drive is tarmac.

I wonder if keeping an eye on it and then acting on it if anything happens in the future would be OK?
