If your home needs structural repairs which have been flagged up in the home report – tackle this first!īuyers can find it hard to get a mortgage when a property is in poor structural condition, so while you can still attract those fortunate few people who can pay in cash if you ignore these issues, the majority of us still need help from the bank and so you’re significantly reducing your pool of buyers. So, let’s take a look at the different types of repairs and renovations which almost always add value to a property – so long as you know where to stop! The key here is finding that sweet spot somewhere in the middle. However, there’s a fine line between spending all your hard-earned savings on things your buyers simply wouldn’t have noticed or cared about, versus leaving it in a condition so poor that it’s stuck on the market for months on end and facing a price reduction. After all, we want to fetch the highest possible price, and the competition can be fierce. What may? have happened is that the wall below the roughcast is Block work, and the area below is facing brick [the block work is cheaper than Facing brick.We’re all told that before selling our home, we should spend time and money (if we can) on getting our properties in tip top condition. I have enhanced your lower image but cannot see any cracks in the brickwork ? The crack has formed mid way along the length of the external wall between the upper window and the lintel of the rear door. Now for the crack below the upper window right hand side, again "thermal" This is being caused by differential thermal co-efficient s between the Concrete lintel and the brick / block work of the external wall, this causes cracks on or near the junction between the Concrete lintel end and the surrounding wall.As an aside this is a classic image of such a crack. The crack above / right of the upper window.
Notice this is your first post on the board, if no one else does, Welcome.įirst impressions are all the cracks can be explained as being "Thermal"
