also is run on LPG. I also noticed the ground floor felt very solid. whether this was originally floorboards i'm not sure. floor could have been cemented over, transferring damp to internal walls. May be worth enquiring with neighbours next door to see if they've had any issues with damp.

Burning LPG creates a lot of water vapour. If they have been using a fair bit of LPG and the house hasn't been ventilated properly it could well result in damp patches on the walls.

ah didn't know that re LPG. Going to view it again on Saturday. There's also joists that are bowing in certain rooms quite significantly so I reckon the survey will throw out several red flags. Hopefully not a rip out and replace and just a case of either sistering some of the joists or packing the floors up.

Has anybody got an old property where it has been cement mortared but have had no issues regarding potential trapped moisture? I just don't want to be paying a builder to rake and re point straight away if it can wait 5 years until we have the funds to do this.

I may have misunderstood, but an LPG Boiler vents outside just like any other
