Common Property Issues in Norfolk

Properties in Norfolk often present specific issues related to local geography, construction types and environmental exposure.

Common may include:

  • Historic damp penetration in Georgian and Victorian properties, particularly in older terraces.
  • Timber decay and ventilation issues in flint cottages and traditional rural buildings.
  • Movement related to clay soils in certain inland areas.
