Renters’ Rights Act: What It Means for the Market

Historic Carpenters’ Marks Found at a Georgian Mill House, Brackley
While surveying a late eighteenth-century mill house in Brackley, we uncovered original carpenters’ marks on the roof trusses — Roman numerals cut into the oak that reveal how Georgian roof frames were set out, assembled, and raised with remarkable accuracy.

During a recent survey of a Grade II Listed property, we encountered an active outbreak of dry rot within the basement. The fungus had formed extensive mycelium and a distinct rhizomorph “feeding strand” between timber stacks — a striking demonstration of how opportunistic and dynamic timber-decay fungi can be when the conditions are right.
