Buying a house that was built approximately 1914. Level 3 survey found elevated moisture levels in 2 rooms and states "it would be prudent to instruct a specialist damp and timber surveyor to undertake a thorough inspection of the floor timbers to confirm condition and advise on any remedial works"
Can anyone advise whether this is really required? Having already spent £600 on the survey if it's not I'd rather avoid the cost but then if it'll prevent potential costly repairs later...

They ALL say this to cover their arses.

Apparently they turn up with moisture measuring tools that are completely irrelevant when measuring the moisture levels in most houses.

Anyway, your thread could do with a better title - most of the people who have had the same red flag on a survey won't even open this.

I am just telling you what I had read here recently. I have never even bought a house :)
