Older Wallsend Homes: The 3 Big Structural Risks Weβre Seeing This Month
Weβve inspected several Wallsend properties recently, and three issues keep appearing:
β’ Movement in brick veneer walls due to ageing footings
β’ Termite activity in older extensions and sheds
β’ Moisture under bathrooms caused by failed waterproofing in pre-2000 builds
These issues are rarely visible during a walkthrough β but they can cost thousands. Thatβs why booking a licensed building inspector in Wallsend is so important.
If you're buying in Wallsend, we provide detailed reports with photos, moisture readings and a clear breakdown of every defect found on-site.
