Quarry Quandry

J and her partner, C bought a house off Poppy Road last year. Lovely house and the sellers had done a great job doing it up. But...

They hadn't come totally clean about damp. J and C got a drop in price from them for damp they admitted to. When C pulled the flooring up to lay a new laminate... They'd put a layer of plastic under the floor they'd laid and... damp+++

Even the lovely mosaic quarry tiles had been botched with scree. So, the quandry is, how much to spend and how far to go in a house that isn't going to be their life pad?
