Selling Your House? Hidden Mould Could Kill the Deal

When preparing your home for sale in Holywood, most sellers focus on fresh paint, garden appeal, and tidy interiors. However, one hidden issue can quietly ruin your chances of a smooth sale — mould.

Whether it's visible in the bathroom or hiding behind a wall, mould is a major concern for today’s buyers and surveyors.


Why Mould Is a Red Flag for Buyers

Buyers are cautious, and rightly so. Mould often signals bigger problems like damp, poor ventilation, or hidden leaks. If discovered during a survey, it can:

  • Lead to price drops
  • Cause buyers to walk away
  • Create legal disputes post-sale

In fact, the National Association of Home Builders notes mould is one of the top reasons home deals fall through.


Common Mould Hotspots in Holywood Homes

  • Behind bedroom wardrobes
  • Around window frames
  • In under-ventilated bathrooms
  • In attics or roof spaces with poor airflow

These spots are often missed by sellers — but not by buyers or their surveyors.
