Hi all,
I'm looking around at places to buy - today I saw one I really liked, but I found a slight problem - next to the shower is a small amount of wall (about 30 cm wide, going up to the ceiling), and it appears to be rotting.
Otherwise, the place looked great!
Anyway, the very bottom of that wall section appears to be moudly/rotten (the skirting board up maybe 15cm?).Just the bottom, but I guess it could be really worse than that behind the wall. (?)
I will have another look within the next few days, and take some photos of the damage.... but what do people think?
Should I look away from purchasing the property? I'm assuming a building inspector would be able to assess the damage and estimate repair, and I'd knock that off the purchase price to allow for the repairs.
But could this be a telltale sign of major damage? Anyone had experience with something like this and can offer any advice for someone who has no clue?
