When you’re looking for a new house, there are tons of aspects you want to consider. This is your future life after all. If you find an issue when viewing a house, it will likely continue to be an issue as time goes on. There are a few aspects of a property that are forgivable. This includes discolored paint, old wallpaper, and carpets that need replacing. They’re quick fixes that don’t cost a lot of money. But other, bigger property turn-offs will likely deter someone from investing in that property. Surveys suggest that certain things will decrease the value of your property.

Mold can cause a host of respiratory problems, including a cough, sore throat, and itchy eyes and skin. It causes a lot more issues than not. If it’s not solved quickly, it becomes a multi-week issue. Many landlords try and blame the mold and damp stains on a lack of ventilation and condensation. The best thing to do is to avoid this completely on your property, with low-level heating and thermal insulation. Home experts say having a moldy home could knock off nearly $8,000 worth of value in your house (Basing Stoke).
