Reasons to see a house during the rainy season

The "golden" time to check the quality of the house

It may be inconvenient to go see a house on a rainy day, but this is a good time to check the quality of the house you are interested in. Because only when the weather is harsh, heavy rain, strong wind, buyers have the opportunity to accurately assess the quality of the house such as the waterproofing of the roof, the top floor and the partition between the two houses.

Along with that, buyers can also observe the drainage speed of the common drainage system, sidewalks, public areas in the project or of the house itself.

Understand the flooding status of surrounding roads

The roads around the house area are also very important, because they affect the daily life of the homeowner.

Therefore, viewing a house during the rainy season is an opportunity for buyers to check whether the surrounding roads are flooded or congested during heavy rains.

House prices are softer during the rainy season

Some houses may have flaws in the rainy season, so the owner will offer a softer price instead of pushing the price up. At the same time, the buyer can also see the flaws of the house, making it easier to negotiate the price with the seller.

Some notes when buying a house to avoid flooding

- Choose a house in a high area, less likely to flood, avoid a foundation that is too high, because the area around the high foundation will be a low-lying area, often flooded, on the contrary, if the house is on top of an area with a high foundation, the area around the house will be flooded. Ignore the place where the road is higher than the house, the high road may not be flooded but if the house foundation is lower, the water will flow to the low-lying area and cause the house to be flooded.

- Observe the base of the house walls to see if there are stains or moss. If there are, it shows that the area may have been or is frequently flooded.

- Be careful with houses near canals and rivers, because high tides can cause flooding and often have bad smells or garbage spilling into the house when it floods.
