TIPS FOR SELLER AND BUYERS BEFORE PROPERTY TRANSFER

Legal Tip:  It is shocking that MANY BUYERS are closing on property  without having it inspected for mold even after the home inspector indicates a mold presence in the report (home inspector is now off the hook)  and the new owner then finds out a few weeks later there is a major mold problem (one in Sparta, NJ recently cost over $23,000.00 in repairs) that the new owner is now responsible for. If  a mold has been noted prior to closing you MUST protect your future interest by inspecting NOW- once you own the property you almost will always own the problem since you have accepted it via disclosure.

SELLER TIPS
   BROKER/SALES TIP
  BUYERS TIPS
  1. Inspect your home before showing the property
  2. Have mycologist determine if it is mold. Often it is not mold.
  3. Mold must be removed or cleaned before showing the property to limit exposure to persons entering property.
  4. Do not cover-up mold. Concealed mold may result in health injury claims, added punitive legal and other damage awards along with full compensation for remediation and repairs afterwards.
  5. Document the mold condition and any remediation, abatement with associated repairs.
  6. Obtain a certification of a mold free habitation.

 

 

 

 

 

 
  1. Property sales personnel are there first and are most likely to be exposed to mold before their buyers. If you see or smell mold:  Get out immediately if you have any physical response.
  2. People living with mold often do not know it and may have no or minimal allergic response. Do not rely on their comments.
  3. Look out for your client if you note mold you should make them aware of it to protect your agency and anyone that may enter the property.
  4. Encourage your seller to have a pre inspection (prior to showing) for mold if it is suspect.

 

 

 

 
  1. Look for mold in all areas of the property
  2. Spend a few minuets in all areas of the house to detect mold odor or visual presence.
  3. Leave any property when mold is present either odor or visual.
  4. Have the property inspected for mold and fully document the findings.
  5. Ask seller to pay for mold inspection at closing (nearly all will)
  6. If mold is found and removed have a follow up certified mold inspection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most common question :

So often gets asked. Who should pay for the mold inspection?.

The Answer:Depends upon the circumstances of the inspection request.  The property  inspection should be paid by the owner if mold growth is noted since it is to the benefit of the owner if they sell or not.  If there is no basis other than satisfying buyer's  curiosity or some other         

 

 interest then the buyer should pay.  If a mold is found the seller should pay. Most inspections cost less than 1/10  of one  percent of the value of the property . It is an excellent value considering the amount of damage it could potentially uncover.

MOLD MUST BE DISCOVERED BEFORE PURCHASE

If you purchase a property and you find mold a few months later that may have been there at the time of buying you may suffer a tremendous loss by not being able to make a claim because it can be said that the mold was established since the purchase - we have seen this happen often. Have the property competently inspected before closing and get a certified report in writing. A fungal mold mycologist  professional must be consulted .

In all cases if you find a mold shortly after you acquire the property you must IMMEDIATELY have it professionally inspected by a certified inspector and mycologist to establish your case. The inspector will DOCUMENT the damage and presence of the mold infestation for legal or insurance purposes. BUT  this must be done immediately - the longer you wait the more the liability  transfers to you - the new property owner. DO NOT attempt or begin any repair until it has been fully documented by fungal mold mycologist inspector.

  WHAT TO DO AFTER THE SALE AND MOLD PROBLEMS ARE DISCOVERED?

Estimates are as high as 10% of all properties have a mold associated problem. Most often mold is innocently overlooked, ignored or just not identified even during the course of a general home inspection. Obtain a qualified opinion letter from our medical mycologist/legal investigator to determine if the mold was concealed, covered-up or otherwise hidden from you by the seller.
