Section F3 of a RICS HomeBuyer Report considers walls and partitions and can include critical information regarding matters such as damp, for which readings are taken, if you're looking to buy a property in Eton Wick. In a recent RICS HomeBuyer Report for a property in Alma Road, the RICS surveyor noted the following: "High moisture readings were recorded at low level to either front corner of the reception room and to the left wall of the area below the dog leg of the staircase. These are symptomatic of rising dampness and we would therefore advise that a reputable damp proofing expert is instructed to survey the affected areas and that any recommendations are instigated."
