The newly launched report says you may wrongly believe serious defects are easy to spot, but often the most serious and costly problems are only detected upon close inspection. It highlights the six tell-tale signs you should look for when considering buying a new home.
Leaky roofs are one of the most common problems and are tough to detect from the outside unless a professional roof inspection is undertaken. However, from inside the attic it is possible you will be able see water marks from where there is a leak.
As you may know, water systems can be expensive to repair and replace if they are not in good working order. You are advised to ensure the system that brings in fresh water and deposits sewage is functioning before finalizing the buying process.
Electrical systems should be tested where possible. Aside from the inconvenience of not being able to run all the tools and appliances you want, bad wiring or electrical faults can cause a fire hazard.
Any heating and cooling systems should be thoroughly checked, especially the air conditioning as they can contain bacteria if they are not cleaned or maintained. You are also advised to visually inspect for signs of rot and bad paint. In case you are wondering why, the paint inside and outside the house can reveal a lot about the condition of the materials underneath.
A company spokesperson said: “Cracks in walls, doors not closing properly, and uneven floors can all be signs that there is a problem with the foundation. If the foundation is not strong, the entire house could literally collapse, so you should carefully check for these signs.”
“A bad foundation may not mean imminent disaster, but it could be used to bargain for a lower sale price, or you could ask to have the owner repair it before the sale,” they added.
