In today’s episode of The Damp Show Sam gives you an update on what is happening with the flood house he spoke about last week. He shares how he realised that the previous owner had sold the house knowing that it had serious damp issues without telling the person he sold it to. Sam explains how using legislation from 2006 the new owner can sue the person who mis-sold the property to them.



As well as telling you about a pre-purchase damp and timber survey he has done in Bradford. A survey that the potential buyer is planning to use to try to buy the property for less. Sam also tells you about a charity that is close to his heart – Matthew´s A Friend In Me.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
When installing a subfloor, you really need a blank canvas. Everything needs to come out.
If you are a business owner, it is easy to get to know and like someone, which can lead to your trying to save them money, but doing so in a way that risks things going wrong and leaving you out of pocket.
Passive vents are basically just holes in the wall, you really do need fans.
Usually, when someone makes an insurance claim, the company changes the policy so that the issue is no longer covered. Although usually, you can get the cover reinstated by paying extra.
Group gate is sorted and has been resolved peacefully.



BEST MOMENTS 

“The person that had the property before knew that there were an issue.”

“I let me heart rule my mind when doing the estimate.”
