SIGNING A CONTRACT # 1
Get a building inspection prior to signing a contract when buying a home. The initial outlay could save you thousands of dollars in repairs or give you negotiating power with the vendor.
SIGNING A CONTRACT # 2
Always seek legal advice from your own solicitor (not one recommended by a Real Estate Agent) prior to signing a contract.
SIGNING A CONTRACT # 2
Beware of "Standard Contracts" that are designed to help sell a property. Again, never sign a contract without showing your own legal advisor.
PREVENTING MOULD #1
Mould needs moisture to grow so clean up and wet areas such as spills on carpet, wet clothes, leaks after heavy rainfall. Keep your house ventilated, even in winter.
PREVENTING MOULD #2
Direct water away from your home. If the ground around your home isn't sufficiently sloped away from the foundation, water may collect there and seep under the house, in to the garage, and crawlspace.
PREVENTING MOULD #3
Keep and eye on your roof gutters and have them cleaned regularly. If damaged get them repaired as soon as possible.
