Vince Courtney, a property expert at online estate agency, Purplebricks, revealed the top turn-offs for house hunters and, unsurprisingly, mould and damp patches came in at number one. "According to our research, it would put nearly three in four (75%) potential buyers off choosing your home," he said.
Damp indicates that there could be a major issue with insulation, ventilation and the overall structural integrity of your home. "If you have any damp or mould patches or stains, you should address the issue effectively," Richard James suggests. "Don’t just try and cover them up, as that will lead to further issues with the buyer down the line."
