Properties across Greater Manchester often share similar issues, particularly in older housing stock. One of the most common problems is damp, including rising damp and penetrating moisture, which can lead to long-term structural damage if left untreated.
Roof defects are also frequently identified, including slipped tiles, worn flashing, and ageing materials. These issues may not always be visible from ground level but can result in costly repairs.
Structural movement, such as cracking caused by subsidence, is another concern in some areas. Timber defects, including rot and woodworm, are also regularly found during inspections.
A professional survey helps identify these issues early, giving buyers and homeowners the information needed to take action before problems escalate.
