Rendering Clay Lump Walls

Del 27/06/2026 - 9.21 AM

Looking at buying a cottage that's been recently extended. The original walls are Clay Lump & been rendered with sand & cement. The surveyor said it's not uncommon however would highly recommend lime based. The property also has a few other bad finishing points throughout. However I cannot get past the rendering in my head! Should I walk away & spoil the wife's dream?

Depends really on how much you want to spend putting things right if you have a bottomless Pitt or can get it for a good price then it would be worth while, Good luck Alex
