[quote="Porty] ....it was riddled with dry rot. They had to take it off the market fix it then start again.[/quote]
According to our dry rot surveyor (yep, we've had one of those as well!

) a vast amount of houses in Portobello will have dry rot. Something to do with the damp from the sea. It's awesome stuff. The beam holding up our whole roof was like a Crunchie!

Maybe we should have a local "Check for dry rot" day.
