How To Avoid The DIY Plumbing Disaster
What can you do prior to sale?
- Fix the leaks prior to sale
- Only use licensed trades.
- Divert water away from the house.
- Maintain your gutter systems.
- Obtain compliance certificates from renovation works.
Peace of Mind
To ensure your property will not be de-valued due to any faulty plumbing it is always recommended to complete a spot check prior to sale before the pre-sale building inspection date. All agents recommend an independent inspector to assess the home and you would not want the buyer turned away because of uncompliant plumbing works.
