PRE-SALE INSPECTION CHAPEL HILL 4069
Our client needed a building and pest inspection as they were looking to put their house on the market. They wanted experienced building and pest inspectors to check their house thoroughly before going to market.
Their home was built in the 1950’s so there was some age to the home. After the season of heavy rain we have endured, our clients noticed staining and damage to the ceiling plaster.
The obvious suspect was the roof. Our building Inspector took photos to show the client exactly the issue with the roof. The tiles needed painting and re-sealing. Because the paint and seal were compromised the tiles were absorbing a lot of moisture and with continual rain they were leaking moisture to the ceiling.
The other major issue was the need for re-capping and re-pointing so all the joins are secure.
Issues with a roof can be a contract killer. Having discovered there were roof issues, this gave our client the opportunity to rectify them before going to market. This potentially saved them from losing a sale or having the sale price negotiated down.
It is ideal to have a roof checked every 5 years. A concrete tiled roof needs to be restored every 25 - 30 years to prevent interior damage to a home
