We bought our house new in December 2006. It was a new development and the developer has since gone into Receivership. I have recently noticed what appears to be rising damp on the wall in the hall behind the front door. I can see the patch coming up behind the skirting and some of the paint is starting to crumble. Is this something Homebond covers? I rang them and they said they don't cover water ingress after 5 years. I've read some threads on here about people claiming for leaks etc. well after 5 years so this could be a new thing with them. I've contacted the developer's office to see if they have a copy of the original Homebond agreement but they pretty much fobbed me off. Anyone any advice?
