Just intrested to find out if everyones house has damp to some extent on the turkish coast?
the place we have bought has a little but alot of the villa's we saw were really bad with it many seemed like rising damp.
is it in the way the places are built?
is it lack of damp course?
or just that they are all empty for years before being lived in?
how do you treat damp ion these buildings?
ours seems to be where our villa joins another villa ( maybe prevailling wind and rain?)
any help would be good.
are some paints not of very good quality? can you get better paints that don't fall off the wall?

thanks
