Thanks for the reply
Its a semi detached house, around 40 years old.
Its blockwork as far as I know and there are no vents in any of the rooms.
There was damp on the internal walls that were painted over. The damp seemed to be near the floor.
We've only had the rads on a couple of times in the last 6 months.
The rooms upstairs smell quite musty although I do try to air them daily this has no effect.
Will the surveyor spot damp/rising damp ??
"Get an engineer and be guided by him.
I rented a house once that had partial replacement with double glazed windows. There were no vents in it. The rooms that had been double glazed were damp and musty. Also the fireplaces had no draw. The rooms with the original single-glazed windows (rotting wood) had no damp, but very very draughty. The concolusion I came to was that the old windows had allowed enough draught into the room to ventilate them, but the double-glazed blocked that up!The windows are double glazed.
