No visible mould as yet, trying to work out if there will be any inside the wall

Does this help?

Yes as far as I know, it's only a couple of years old so I assume so

You're a star. Thank you :)

Thank you, can I ask one more - it doesn't show well on the photo but to the left of the right sill it's beginning to show the joints as the one with the dodgy guttering, is it likely to be a thin patch of render?

So do you reckon it's showing the joints because it's thin in that patch, or it's showing because it's wet and it's wet because it's thin? It only seems to show in those two places so I guess it's a bit of a coincidence if it's thin rendering only where the water run off is..... Sorry, trying...

Thanks, it rains all the time here, building is approx 2 years old, any ideas on how far the water running off the sills will have penetrated? The rendering is supposedly 20mm k rend, according to architect plans

Just found out it is K rend if that's any help to anyone

Does anyone know if this effect necessarily indicates a moisture issue? I have a similar problem and I'm trying to work out if water will have got into the walls to an extent enough to start mould problems... any help much appreciated

Heh. Seems to be a known phenomenon in building (e.g. http://www.titanamerica.com/uploads/Ghosting%20in%20Stucco%202013-07-18.pdf) I just need to know more about whether it = damp problems

hi all, would you be able to help me out, I'm looking at a house built in the last couple of years and noticed some "ghosting", where you can see the outline of the blocks under the rendering? It's very pronounced on a house in the same row so I've taken a photo of that too, but the house I'm...
