It’s been a busy year for Conifer and we’re currently planning our schedule for 2012.
A brief update to our Blog to keep you posted on what’s been happening:
We’ve seen more requests this year than ever before for mortgage-related damp surveys. Many mortgage lenders will now only approve lending if certain conditions are met, and signs of damp in purchased properties is one of the criteria which is now becoming increasingly prevalent.
Conifer can survey and report on damp issues in properties and produce written specifications and recommendations in line with requirements from mortgage companies and/or estate agents. For full details on this service please call 01650 531 694.
We’ve also seen a flurry of activity in new conversion projects, with lots of exciting plans for disused barns, old farmhouses and outbuildings in particular.
It’s worth bearing in mind that with projects such as this, it’s important to carry out damp proofing works first. This allows the DPM (damp proof membrane) to be tied into floors and wrapped around new joists etc. Along with any required roofing works, this should be the starting point for your project before any other work is carried out.
We are happy to provide advice and guidance for large projects and conversions, and our particular expertise is in stone and solid-wall construction. Give Conifer a call on 01650 531 694 for more information.
It’s time to start thinking about what progress you’ll make with your basement conversion, barn conversion or damp proofing projects in 2012. We’re already booking for Spring so now’s the time to get in touch and start making it happen!
