520 _aAims to help surveyors reduce the risks posed by hidden dry rot in buildings surveyed. Discusses some of the problems of reporting on the presence, or risk of, concealed fungal decay (including dry rot) when making a condition survey of a property. It stresses the need for a diagnostic approach to the inspection and gives examples of how the courts have approached cases where it is claimed that the surveyor failed to discover dry rot and/or warn of the hidden risk of undiscovered rot in buildings.
