Have you ever lived in a home with wallpaper? For many, wallpaper is a rustic, nostalgic feature, and even though wallpaper isn’t as popular as it used to be, it is still used in many homes.
The main problem when buying a home that has wallpaper in it is that there could be many problems that are hidden underneath the wallpaper. To make things worse, many of these problems might not be detectable without taking off the wallpaper.
Sometimes it might be hiding cracks and holes, but it is also possible that there is mold growing behind it. If you see discoloration on the walls, and if it feels cold or damp, you should definitely take precautions. It is possible to detect mold spores using a electronic detector, and if you do find mold, it might be better not to go forward with the purchase unless the seller is willing to take care of the problem.
