So the ship might have completely sailed for this scenario, but we have just discovered a leak in our roof. We purchased the house in January, which was obviously a while ago, but this is just the first sideways rain we’ve had. I’m wondering if this leak was an issue that wasn’t disclosed when we purchased, because the water is coming through an existing hole in the moulded plaster ceiling. We had put down to a fixed historical leak, based on it not being mentioned, but the hole was very obviously caused by water damage at some stage, it’s next to a chimney and there’s water staining on the ceiling. It was a rental before we purchased it, I’m wondering if the tenants mentioned a leak to the rental agency?

I’m expecting that we probably just have to suck it up, but we moved cities so I can study, currently on one income (supplemented by the family tax credit) so not really in an income bracket where this isn’t a stressful situation. Does anyone know if we have grounds to pursue this, or have any advice? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I moved here with my family at the beginning of the year. We absolutely love it here, however we don’t know anyone, so it’s hard to get word-of-mouth recommendations for things. I’m looking for a dental hygienist, I’m happy to pay more for someone who does a really thorough job. I’d rather invest more in prevention to avoid the cure! That being said, I’d love any recommendations for hygienists you feel do a thorough job! Thanks in advance!
