Damp ingress
We have put on offer on this property, but obviously subject to surveys etc. It's old Victorian property so can expect some damp, ventilation issues or cracks (moving from such a property) but damp is causing me concern. Picture 1: It's ground floor (basement flat below) so it's not rising damp, but there's iron railings on the other side of this exterior wall so suspect something to do with that. Seems like a long term fix might be achievable without causing too much stress. Picture 2: this is the ceiling and below someone else so assuming this is a leak from neighbours. Likely needs some agreement with neighbours but assume management company might have some responsibility here.
There is an exorbitant management company fee so I would have thought that if these things can be sorted, they should have been sorted by now. We'll get a damp specialist and ask to speak to management company representative about these before taking the process further but anyone got any observations or thoughts that might put my mind at rest?
Ta!
