"Bouncy floor" in survey - *UPDATE*
Options
Comments
-
its either dry rot (as posted)
or its how its been constructed
as previous poster said - down to
bad joisting,
very small noggins (or none at all)
and to make things worse the chipboard floor edges are possibly not meeting on a joist
thats if its a suspended timber floor0 -
could also be too few nails in the floor boards - VERY simple to fix0

My wife reminded me that we had a bouncy floor comment in one of our previous surveys as well. It turned out that lounge had a sprung floor because some previous owners had been mad keen on Scottish dancing and often had their friends round for a 'fling'.0

What sort of "fling ?" - nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more !!!0

Just the dancing I think....... We didn't find any evidence of other activities!
Probably just danced to keep warm to be honest. I've never lived anywhere so cold.0 -

Other evidence would be if you had pampas grass in your garden. Apparently all swingers have pampas grass in their garden!!0 -
The garden was mostly tundra....may have been some reindeer grass.0

Last time I went past it it looked like a bouncy floor was the least of it's problems........I'd be amazed if it was still there in 20 years time.Been away for a while.0 -
At the time we thought it was great. Only cost £19500 as well.
I remember having sleepless nights about our £17000 mortgage............0 -
Is it a possibility that the surveyor was wearing these:
It's not paranoia if they really are after you.0
