📋 FAQ: Checklist & Property Viewing
Should viewing include contractor to validate works?
In 2026, contractors over-solicited and often charge visits for quotes (€80-150). Pro method: First visit alone with RenovMatch checklist. Call contractor only after compromise signed (retraction period) to refine material choices.
Most overlooked control point?
Sanitation and ventilation. Often look at kitchen but forget checking septic tank compliance or MVHR absence can cost €5,000-15,000 after purchase. Always check basement and attic before signing.
How to detect hidden humidity without equipment?
Look for whitish traces (saltpeter) at wall bases, dust absence (overly humid walls indicator), or lift linoleum/carpet corner. If musty smell despite open windows, flee or negotiate massively.
