Common Property Issues in Cambridgeshire

Properties in Cambridgeshire often present issues related to soil conditions, age of construction and regional development patterns.

Common findings include:

  • Clay shrink–swell movement affecting foundations in several areas of the county.
  • Damp penetration in older Victorian and Edwardian homes, particularly in Cambridge and market towns.
  • Timber decay and ventilation concerns in rural cottages and pre-war properties.
  • Roof covering deterioration in older terraces and farm buildings.
  • Movement or settlement associated with extended or altered properties.
  • Limited insulation and energy efficiency issues in some older housing stock.

Our surveyors’ local knowledge helps identify and explain these issues clearly, enabling buyers to make informed decisions.
