We are buying a new construction house from a large public listed
builder in Pennsylvania. During the construction the framing and floor
boards were exposed to the rains and roof was not on. This caused the
framing and flooring to get wet and developed stains, which me and my
wife believed to be mold. When this was brought to the attention of the
builder a mold treatment company was brought in by the builder and
complete remediation was done. The place was cleaned with the filters
and a mold resistant paint applied. The mold remediation company also
gave us a certificate that the house is now completely mold free and
the mold paint has a warranty of 7 years. We are fine with remediation,
but are concerned that when they are ready to sell there house,
prospective buyers (or their inspectors) will see the paint marks in
the basement and attic. Is this something they should be concerned
about? Will this cause an issue during resale ? Also will this affect
the value of the property? We will be closing in May, Should we ask the
builder for a discount or anything else that we should do to protect
ourselves ?
We will highly appreciate advice and response
