Basement tanking and treating existing damp problems are home improvements that you should prioritise if you want to add value to your property before you sell.
Extra space and rooms add some of the most value to a property on the market. If your home is sitting on top of a neglected basement, then it should be a top priority to make this space habitable. A basement that is suffering from problems with damp is going to be much less attractive to potential buyers, as it means that they must either sort it out themselves or leave it as a wasted space.
Investing in basement tanking is an excellent way to get potential buyers invested in your property, as it provides the opportunity for them to either convert it into a room of their choice or use it for much-needed storage. A professional basement waterproofing company, such as ourselves, can carry out the work for you and get your basement habitable in no time!
Visible signs of damp are not going to be popular with home-buyers, no matter how you spin it. Damp and mould are certain to turn people off your property, as not only are they unsightly, they could negatively affect the potential buyer’s health whilst also giving them another problem to solve. Even if signs of damp are not plainly visible, there could still be a lingering musty or damp smell that is likely to alert potential buyers to an underlying problem.
Before you move forward in selling your home, it is wise to consult a damp specialist and have them conduct a thorough survey of your property to diagnose any damp problems. This will allow you to rectify these issues before allowing potential buyers into your home, so that your home can achieve its true value potential!
