House Rennovations

We bought our house in Morecambe primarily because it had plenty of space and was nicely modernised and finished. It looked like the dream home, huge rooms, finished well in exactly the spot we needed.

I remember saying to someone before the surveyor went round that I didn’t think that he would spot anything we had missed, the only place we had not had a thorough look was in the loft. She warned me about the dangers of pride coming before a fall. I was right though, the surveyor didn’t spot anything other than a couple of cracked timbers in the loft.

After we moved in though we discovered that much of the finishing was tatty. One of the showers didn’t work and one of them leaked into the hall. Worst of all the damp in the basement that we knew about was caused by flooding. If it rains for three days solid, the water just pours in. You can’t stop it and it takes most of the day to get on top of it. In just over a year of living in this house it has flooded three times.
