The cost of home repair
The cost of home repair
Few things in life are as costly as home repair. Issues tend to sneak up, and the longer they’re left, the worse they become. Water wear, roofing issues, and worst of all, foundation damage. All of these things can have an impact on the selling price of your home, but they aren’t necessarily impossible obstacles.
In this blog we’ll be discussing the cost of home repair, and what it takes to sell a home with various issues.
Selling a house with water damage
Water damage can take many forms. In its mildest form, it simply looks bad, causing water stains on the walls, and roof. If left untreated, it can begin forming mold, which can cause sickness. In its most serious form, it can start damaging your house and compromising its structure.
The tricky thing about water damage is that it’s often hidden away, on the roof, in your basement, or in other rarely seen places.
Water damage can be caused by leaking pipes, or, in fact, a damaged roof. Before we discuss selling a house with water damage, let’s review roof damage in more detail.
Selling a house that needs a new roof
The main problem with a damaged roof is that it leads to further damage, such as water damage which we’ve already discussed, but it can lead to other issues too.
For example, a damaged roof can allow wildlife in, which can cause untold amounts of damage, plus it compromises insulation, meaning that the house can become cold in winter, making for an all-around unpleasant stay.
So, must you replace the roof before selling a house? Not necessarily… But before we get to that, let’s take a look at the last, and most serious issue…
Selling a house with foundation issues
Foundation issues are the most serious and can be caused, or made worse by the water damage discussed above. When the foundation of a house is damaged, there’s the risk of partial or complete collapse if it’s left to get worst.
This naturally makes house buyers wary, because by law, you must disclose this damage to prospective buyers. The nature of the damage also makes it very expensive to fix.
