True

They do therefore give an indication of the moisture content if used correctly

False. Many other things also affect conductivity. Copper pipes buried in the wall affect electrical conductivity. Foil-backed plasterboard affects conductivity. A "higher than expected" reading doesn't tell you what made it higher than expected.

I`m guessing that "negative" surveys will soon be the norm?

Pity, always interesting to know what people eventually get for their house.

Er...these 2 statements in that article contradict themselves. If prices are being slashed with increased stock in commuter towns , how is that making them less "affordable"?

Asking prices for homes in commuter towns are being slashed amid a surge in the number of properties for sale, according to research.

“ Anyone looking in some of the most popular commuter towns may now find that properties aren’t affordable. That is putting pressure on local markets, as buyers may be starting to look further afield for value for money.”

It just means that prices are far too high, are being cut, but are not being cut enough. If someone wants to sit with their house on the market month after month at a silly price then that is their problem.

Patr100, that fella has been spamming the boards with his random meaningless links, I wouldn't even reply if I were you as he's offered no constructive input as long as I've seen his posts (and now ignored along with many others).
