Condition surveys in Boston.
Boston sits on the Fens: high water table, clay silts and a town centre of solid-wall Victorian terraces. No town in Lincolnshire generates more damp questions — and few things cost buyers more than answering them wrongly.
The pattern I see repeatedly in Boston: a buyer is quoted thousands for injected damp-proofing that the building doesn't need, while the actual culprits — blocked sub-floor vents, bridged pointing, leaking gutters, hard cement render trapping moisture — go undiagnosed. A condition survey examines the building the way it was built to work, with moisture readings in context, and tells you plainly what's wrong, what isn't, and what it will take to put right.
Beyond damp, Boston's terraces raise the usual period questions — roof coverings, chimneys, suspended floors, past alterations — and the borough's villages add bungalows and newer estates where surveys are usually quick reassurance. Coverage spans Wyberton, Kirton, Swineshead, Fishtoft and the surrounding Fens.
