Are you on the verge of buying a property lately? Your broker will certainly show you several apartments and buildings and houses with some fantastic features. However, investing in an already rendered property is always a wise decision for valid reasons.
Here are some of those reasons you should keep an eye on.
- Superior Water Resistance
If you buy a rendered property, you will not have to be concerned about frequent water damp issues that have probably given you a hard time before. Render mix used in concrete rendering creates a protective layer on the walls and keep the main foundation out of reach for water penetration.
- Insulation
It is indeed a tough call to spend a considerable amount of money in paying the electricity bills, especially during summer. With an adequately rendered house, you can actually ensure better insulation in your home that results in a considerable amount of saving.
- Render Ensures Better Aesthetics
It is not only about protection, but external house rendering can actually help in refurbishing an old property in the best possible manner. So, you might actually save a considerable amount of money without giving any more finishing touch to the existing walls once you buy an already rendered house.
What Should you Check while Buying a Rendered Home?
The details mentioned above are certainly some of the striking benefits of buying an already rendered property. However, you have to inspect a few aspects to ensure that the rendering is of high quality.
- Look for Cracks
The appearance of hairline cracks on the rendered wall is not a good sign. Usually, cracking issues on the rendered walls should not occur before 10-15 years.
So, if the landlord is telling you that the rendering was done just 2 years back, don’t trust them on this. And, even if it has really been done before 2 years then also the cracks indicate that the rendering quality was not good.
- Look for Imperfections
Just like cracks, you are also meant to pay attention to the imperfections. Have you found any bumps or signs of unevenness on the rendered property? Well, it will take a great deal of your money if you have to rectify it after purchase. Also, if the render seems to be sunken or windows are looking like overhang, it indicates the imperfections even more clearly.
It's better to set back from the properties that are rendered inappropriately. On the contrary, you can reap more significant advantages out of an adequately rendered property later on. So, choose wisely.
