The expert called checking the place under the house the best protection against mold

Russians who want to buy an apartment without mold and toxins should ask the developer what was on the site of the house before its construction. About it News.ru told real estate expert Nina Gafarova.

According to her, interest in eco-friendly housing is growing, although when choosing an apartment, the environment is still inferior to the price and layout. The expert advises to start with the study of the territory: to find out what was on this place before and what is nearby - for example, industrial zones, busy highways and substations.

Then it is important to study the house itself, the history of the developer and reviews of residents. Responsible companies are increasingly focusing on sustainability. The reputation of the developer helps to avoid unpleasant situations - once on the market there were apartments with the smell of ammonia due to poor-quality additives in concrete.

To avoid mold in the apartment, you need to monitor ventilation and humidity, especially in corners and on slopes. When repairing, it is better to choose certified materials and ventilate the room well after finishing.
