How likely is for cavity insulation be a source of damp?

Interesting video. A few points of pedantry though. No survey includes opening the taps or switching on the lights. Checks for such things as mining, flood risk, etc. are done but only for the general locality, not for the specific exact property. A good Level 2 report does usually come with photos but they arent compulsory. The stated floor area is external, not internal and is in the valuation section of a level 2 so, if you opt for the cheaper version without the valuation, you typically don't get the floor area or insurance rebuild cost either but the surveyor should have the floor area in their notes so just ask and they should happily provide it. The level 3 (building survey) inspection takes much longer than the level 2 (homebuyer survey), typically under 1hr for a level 1, around 2hrs for a level 2 and anywhere from 3hrs to 2 days (yes really!) for a level 3 depending on the property!

I'm looking at a 'share of freehold' flat that has an 83 year lease. I would normally not consider such a short lease but does the 'share of freehold' mean that I can extend the lease at minimal cost? Would I need the agreement of all the other freeholders and is that likely to cost me?

Hi there, brilliantly clear and useful video, thank you.

Im not sure if RW PROPERTY is still active but this sequence may be obsolete now and or may need an updated video.

U chatting patty for 70 percent

Absolutely worst start to a video you could possible have.

Best and most informative video Ive ever seen on damp issues!

Hi Mate, appreciate your video. I am thinking about buying leasehold house with 900+ year lease left ( it is not flat) which has £1600 service charge per year. Rental income is around £800-900 per month (it is far away from London). It is around £30K cheaper than similar size freehold house. Since last sold in 2009, it has increased only £20K in price, compared to much more increased for freehold. Do you think this £30K cheaper is still the deal braker against service charge? Your prompt response will be much appreciated.

Damp is caused by the cavity walls being bridged with insulation(insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity).Cavity walls must NOT be bridged with insulation or else moisture from the damp outer walls will transmit by capillary action through the touching bridging insulation into the inner walls, making it damp inside the property. Injecting foam into the cavity walls stops the walls breathing , causing drastic condensation saturation of the inner walls inside the building. Cavity wall insulation must touch only the inner walls inside the cavity of course. If cavity wall insulation batts(panels) are to be installed, there must be a LARGE air space gap in-between the outer walls and the cavity wall insulation batts inside the cavity, this includes a substantial air space gap in-between the cavity wall insulation batts and the cavity wall tie drip point(which must point downwards in the centre of the cavity). Ask City & Guilds N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers in person for proof of this, tey are the authority on brickwork construction. (S.V.Q. City & Guilds BRICKWORK in Scotland).

Thanks for video. Can I extend a lease on which I still have 990 years left? I would like to do that to reduce the ground rent as the property is currently not mortgageable.

at 7:05 you hit upon the most likely reason for not using a structural survey/level 3 survey when buying a house. I am often asked what is the difference between a level 2 and 3 survey and I answer "about £600". If you are buying a property then both are completely visual surveys and anything picked up on a level 3 survey should also be picked up on a level 2 survey. The essence of any survey is 1)what are the main defects, 2)how do I repair them? 3)what will it cost me. The third might not be given in a level 2 survey but you can always ask the surveyor to include for cost of major repairs in a separate letter.

Does the surveyor ever look at the fridge?

Hello , Great content . We are planning to buy a house in rugby which was built in 2021(nhbc warranty remaining) by linden homes. Wanted to understand if a level 2 or level 3 for such a property . Any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks !

Hi. I was a bit confused. So is a estate agent a negotiator? Aren't they the people who make the 2.5% from selling the house?

I'm impressed with this guy. Knowledgeable as hell and he wrotes a detailed reply to every comment .

Doesn’t help that the trade sector is awash with cowboys looking to make big bucks from unsuspecting and uninformed homeowners. I showed my internal damp problem to three different cowboys and got theee different reasons, three different prices and timescales for remedy. Rip off Britain all over.

Ive had a offer accepted on a flat local to me in London. Its got a 66 year lease so needs extension. Im thinking if my mortgage goes through without the lease extension needed i might skip the section 42 and save up for 2 years then pay that off. Will get hopefully a decent imcrease in equity and decide either to take that money out to regain the money i spent on the extension or use it for my next property purchase. I plan to keep this flat long term as hope the value will increase by a nice amount having been located in London and possibly live in it later in life if marriage ever comes in 😅

Hi, The House Im about the buy, had few red alerts when homebuyers survey done, but the most important one is the Dump on the walls. The others are Heating, Gas and electricity as they haven't been tested. Any suggestions will be appreciated 👍

Awesome video although there is a certain irony in that your spelling of “defects” is defective (defetcs) 😂👍🏻❤️

Good video thank you but please keep your hands still. Very distracting.

Interesting

while buying a leasehold flat is "share/stock certificate" from the seller mandatory ? What if seller says he doesn't have it or he hasn't received when he purchased it ? Can we withdraw due to this or can we proceed ? If we proceed but without share certificate does it impact us in future when we sell it ? Kindly advise... Thank you

How to get an internship in any estate agency in London at 17 with no prior experience

I have heard that the government will be extending the lease to 999 years. Do you know when this will be happening. I am viewing a flat very soon. The lease on this flat I will be looking at is 89 years, it was 125 years.

If i buy leasehold property and my contract is decreased year by year like 99 years to 87 years. Then that property rates also decreased? And can we do renewal of contract?

Great video very easy to understand 👏👏👏

Procedure to register without joining the company

How do I join real estate as an agent without working for the company.

The opening is Dumb and so annoying 😏

Good all round content in a short video thanks 🎉

Really helpful

Thank you

Your constant hand movements are distracting?

Great video. Any advice on registering with the Land Registry regarding the forms? Thanks.

Very good video and good advice. As someone who has experienced damp issues in our previous property and the many damp proofing cowboys, I totally agree that you need to to treat the cause and mask it from inside. Often damp at the bottom of external facing walls is caused by high ground levels outside.

your hand movements don't look natural at all

I just bought my self a fairly newish flat (under 20 years) and I did not request for a survey. Based on the condition of the flat and the previous owner history, I knew that they were careful owner of the flat and had looked after it really well. Therefore I risk it by not having a survey done. However, although the flat is ok but I wish I went in to have one final look before I signed the contract and I SHOULD have checked if everything in good working order (things like this a surveyor won't picked up anyway...) I found a few minor fault, things like: the PVC window doesn't open, the toilet doesn't flash, a tap dripping...so far (maybe I'll add some more once the cold weather kicks in).

Highest value let was £2200pcm recently. Couple of these a month usually and about 10-12 £1200pcm lets.

Hi, you mention that property consultants are essentially a fancier title for negotiators. Is this true? I have an interview next week for a property consultant position, the same company has separate negotiator roles though, so I would assume there is some difference? Could you elaborate please? Thanks

Biggest waste of money, you roll the dice, sold as seen

Hi we are looking to buy a property that is only 6 years old. Is it worth getting a survey done since it’s new build?

Many thanks for uploading this video. Just what I needed for my level 3 Construction and Build learners. Great free resource.

Those prices sound cheap!

Thanks very helpful

Hi, I have a problem with rain water getting in an internal wall under a chimney breast. The top of the chimney breast has been removed and the roof is not letting in water. I’m totally confused as to where the water is coming from??? Any ideas?

Additionally, if you're trying to sell it may be worth getting a survey done. We had our first buyers pull out because they had a level 3 survey done which brought up all sorts of stuff.. ugh.
