Thanks very much Lady P; food for thought. Also will try to ask OC inspector if see them on the day. No one I’ve spoken to has mentioned termites, and certainly nothing obvious – apart from common summer bugs that come out in hot weather – not the dreaded t-type; that is, nothing visible to naked eye.
Flat next door to ours however has had serious repeating issues with summer bugs though; common variety – not t-type.
Very small appearances in ours – no t-type appearances mercifully.
