Risk Notes

• ▸Inter-war (1920-1944): early cavity walls with galvanised wall ties prone to corrosion. Suspended timber floors common; ventilation under-floor should be checked. Original window frames often single-glazed.
• ▸Works within Permitted Development. Confirm PD not removed by Article 4. Consider Lawful Development Certificate.
• ▸Engineered timber floor in a bathroom: not waterproof and not the manufacturer-recommended floor finish for wet rooms. Steam and standing water can damage the wear layer over time; tile, safety vinyl or glue-down LVT are the standard recommendations. Confirm the homeowner explicitly chose this finish and is comfortable with the maintenance / warranty implications.
