There are several reasons why customers may avoid asking builders for waterproofing and damp treatment when purchasing a flat:-
1. Lack of awareness:-
They may not be aware of the importance of waterproofing and damp treatment in preventing future problems.
2. Assuming it’s included:-
They might assume that waterproofing and damp treatment are already included in the construction costs.
3. Fear of additional costs:-
They may worry that asking for waterproofing and damp treatment will add extra expenses to the purchase price.
4. Trust in the builder:-
They may trust the builder to have already taken care of these details.
5. Lack of knowledge:-
They may not know the right questions to ask or may feel intimidated by technical terms.
6. Prioritizing aesthetics:-
They might be more focused on the flat’s appearance and amenities than its durability and maintenance aspects.
7. Belief that it’s not necessary:-
They might think that waterproofing and damp treatment are only necessary for older buildings or in areas with high rainfall.
8. Not wanting to delay the process:-
They may be eager to finalize the purchase and move in, and don’t want to delay the process by asking for additional treatments.
It’s essential for customers to understand that waterproofing and damp treatment are crucial aspects of building maintenance and can save them from costly repairs and health issues in the long run.
