You may need to get a new apartment to get closer to family,when you get a new job or to get into a school catchment area. What ever the reason might be,these are the few things you should be looking out for when renting a new apartment;
1. Check for termite colonies around the property; Although termites are known to be helpful to the ecosystem,we all know how destructive termites can be to a building. The closer a termite colony is to the property more likely it is that your property will get attacked by termites.
2. Check for rising dampness from outside the building; Rising dampness occurs when water from the ground rises above the foundation level as a result of capillary action.You should check out for early signs of rising dampness because it very like to cause a lot of damages to the fabric of the house.
3. Inspect the building for cracks; Consistent cracks in a building might be as a result of error from the foundation,this could cause a lot of problems for a new occupant in the building.
