"Saved from Hell!"
A review of Butler Steve Chartered Surveyor by Penny - Saturday 5th of September 2009
Thank you Steve!
We accompanied Steve on the survey of what we thought was going to be our dream buy. After half an hour of Steve burrowing around under carpets and shoving his tool in and out of timbers we considered ourselves saved from a potential living hell. The property was riddled with dampness, beetles and dry rot. Steve told us that due to inadequate underfloor ventilation the ground floor timbers were damp which was enccouraging the beetles and dry rot. He suspected that once the fresh air got in after the disgusting carpets were removed from what appeared to be solid timber floors that they would literally disintegrate before our eyes. Suspected remedial costs £5000.00.
Thank you Steve.
Steve also picked up dodgy wiring, old lead pipes and a suspected breach of the boundary line by an extension of the property.
