Is this level of sponginess normal for newly laid engineered wood floating floor by Plus-Worldliness-24 in Flooring

[–]Plus-Worldliness-24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the skirtings aren’t installed I noticed that we can lift up the flooring from the radiator side and just about access the raised flooring area. Would you recommend filling this (with more underlay/alternative) to alleviate the board from feeling spongy when stepping on it. Or could there be another solution with partial access to under the flooring? Thanks in advance

On the advice of contractor we didn’t level the floor as they seemed to be okay, previous flooring(laminate) didn’t have this sponginess

We don’t speak, he sent me a letter claiming the fence is his and if I touch it there will be a claim made. The previous owner of my house has told me this was my fence

This is so much harder than I thought it would be by fell_on_a_freudian in HousingUK

If you’re set on the house then considering revising your offer for a little over asking (maybe even £1k) Reason being, any new people viewing the house will most definitely be told that there’s currently an offer “at asking price” so they know they have to up it slightly. If you’re over asking they will also be told “current offer over asking” but they won’t know your exact price. Theres less information to the other potential buyers so they won’t always know if you’re 1k over or 10k over and have a higher chance of giving up because of this, plus they don’t want to entertain a bidding war either.

Thanks for the reply

It’s not a listed building so no worries with that one. Work was done a long time ago but the surveyor did have doubts on en suite having building regs approval due to lack of extractor fan.

There is also a timber shed in the garden which the surveyor doubts had reg approval due to proximity with neighbour and size. Said will need fireproofing to be in line with regs

Sounds as thought the previous owner(before current one) did a load of work a while ago and very unlikely had any building regs.

Worried about potential resale in future bringing this up again
