Peeling or Flaking on your Paint Wall

When looking at the paintwork you first should look out for any peeling or flaking paint. This usually means that the home will need a completely new paint job, and that can get quite expensive! However most homeowners will improve their home before they sell it and so cracked and peeling paint is not something that you should find in obvious places.

So look in places which are not overly obvious such as under roof overhangs and in every nook and cranny. If you do spot any potential problems then that tends to mean that any work which has been carried out has not been done properly. This can lead to further problems and so you will need to be wary of this.

Any stains around perforations in the paint should also be looked out for. One example of this could be if you look at a nail in the wall. If there is a little rust around the hole then that generally indicates poor maintenance and in worse circumstances it could mean that there is a water drainage problem.
