Are you renovating an old building? Find out what you should be looking out for.

I'm your host Jason Ratcliffe, a Qualified Surveyor and the Home Health Expert.

My goal is to make sure you're equipped with all the knowledge you need to be safe and happy with your home. It doesn't matter if you're a homeowner, a renting tenant, or a landlord, my aim is the same - to help you get the best from your property.

In this episode, titled "Renovating old buildings - everything you need to know!", we go on site to to a 200-year old Count House in Cornwall to explore common issues with old homes. I also have a sit down with Andrew Richards from Cornwall Council's Historic Preservation Department.

Plus, we answer a listener's question on managing condensation and offer a tenant top tip on safe ventilation practices.

So, listen in as we explore how to create a healthier, safer home environment for the elderly and vulnerable people in your life. Click play and let's get started!
