our Plaster Home
an emotional roller-coaster.
Here are 9.5 things to help you get the most out of selling your
plaster home.
1. Before you put it on the market, you need to have it professionally checked by a
building inspector. Pay the money required, as you are not wanting a helpful opinion, but a
serious report the inspector is prepared to stand behind.
A professional inspector who is in a position to make comments on the moisture
situation of your home will have:
+ a 20 mm deep non invasive moisture sensor
+ a 50mm deep moisture invasive sensor
+ 110mm invasive probes that can be attached to their sensors, so they can take
an invasive reading if required, this means they will also have a drill with them.
+ if they are worth the money they will charge you, they will also be carrying a
thermal camera to check for hidden leaks inside the building envelope.
+ a professional will also be on possession of a pole camera, so they can view the
roof, eaves and gutters from the safety of the ground.
+ you will want them to record moisture content readings on all corners of every
door and window in your home. These need to be documented for you, to give you,
your agent and bank verifiable data.
