Buying a house always need a big investment of finance as well as emotions. We all try hard to locate the property, where we can have a comfortable life with our friends and family. However, after the Leaky Homes crisis, it has become a little difficult for property buyers to trust any property dealer. This article is intended to help the property buyers in surveying the property to ensure that they aren’t investing in leaky homes. Below mentioned is the check list that can help you identity whether or not to invest in the property:
• You can start by investing the exterior walls for any rust or any stains that may appear unusual
• Next, you should look for the possible cracks where rainwater can get collected
• Very important to check that wall claddings should be free from the ground level, balconies as well as decks so that they remain protected from water soaking.
• All the windows and doors of the houses must have a plastic flashings or sheetmetal.
• The house should be free from any dampness that can rot the cladding, doors, windows etc. of the building.
• The deck of the home should be fitted below the internal floor level.
• Parapet walls should have flashings covering their top surface.
• Penetrations like pipes or wires must be properly flashed where they enter the roof or cladding.
• Signs of any broken sealant.
• Interior of the house–Stains on ceilings, spongy flooring, mould spots on walls, and most importantly musty smell.
• Top fixed handrails on balustrades.
