 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Quick bit of advice if I may. Recently had cause to dig a small hole at the side of the house and found one of the vertical spaces between a couple of bricks didn't have any mortar in it. Is this normal? Is it a problem? Could it be where the mice were getting in over winter? Does it need filling? Any sort of drain or vent feature seems odd if below ground level.
The house was built in 1995. Standard cavity wall arrangement and given the air bricks, some sort of suspended floor, probably block and beam.
Sounds like a Mortar Weevil infestation.
Get out now. Take nothing with you. Set fire to all the houses in your street to stop it spreading.
...or buy a tub of premixed mortar from Screwfix and fill the gap and forget about.
That'd work too.
fill the gap and forget about.
But how will the mice get in?

FTFY
Perchy, that's the plan, just wanted to make sure it wasn't serving a purpose I was unaware of first. Now seems the time to do it while the mice are out for the summer.

Typical landlord, should be ashamed.
They've never paid rent and with the damage they've done, no way are they getting their deposit back.
