The walls should be checked for cracks both internally and externally. A building inspector should be consulted if there are many cracks larger than 2.0mm in width on a property. These cracks can ruin the aesthetics of a building and become the source of dampness and leakage in the structure. - Interstitial Condensation may Cause Serious Health Hazards
Molds are usually considered to be harmless cloud-like appearance on the walls, but they can actually cause serious health issues like asthma or other respiratory disorders. They may even result in grave health issues, if not treated on time. - Fine Cracks Ruin Asthetics
Fine cracks on walls can form slowly as the property ages and is exposed to different climatic conditions and weather changes. Cracks can also result from a bad paint job, in addition to normal wear and tear. Another cause of damaged walls might be a hidden water leakage. - Kitchen Layout
Function of the kitchen is influenced by its layout. Considering an open kitchen layout may be a good idea if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It might be enough for you to have a smaller or enclosed kitchen if you are a seldom cook. Allow yourself some time to analyze and assess your needs to determine the size of your kitchen. - Age isn’t Just a Number

Carpet area is the area inside the walls of a unit/flat. It is the area that you are actually using as your personal space. - Seek Feedback
