Mold?
Sorry if this has been asked recently. I looked through recent posts and didn't see anything.
Would mold be a deal breaker for you (depending on the severity)? When I read "possible mold; see disclaimer", I tend to feel like running in the opposite direction. But I have to admit that I know very little about mold and the issues that come along with it - other than the fact that it can make you very sick.
Would you even consider a house with mold or would you rule it out? What does it entail if you do have a house with mold?
Re: Mold?
There are different types of mold all of which can cause allergic reactions, but the type most feared is Black Mold which is really, really bad. Oh, and if they have disclosed mold they aren't talking about the little kind that grows around the shower drain if a shower hasn't been cleaned in weeks, they are most likely disclosing stuff in or on walls.
Regardless of the type of mold, it is caused by the presence of water even little bits. That's the huge concern for me even if the mold is a relatively benign sort.
Mold is a dealbreaker for me as well.
It would depend on the circumstances. I'd want to know more before considering it a dealbreaker.
Our current home had mold in two places. One small spot in an attic over the garage, and a place in the utility closet where the hot water tank had burst. Both places were dry and the mold was not actively growing. The spot in the attic was caused by a roof leak that was fixed when the roof was replaced, and the spot in the utility closet was easily to fix. The drywall was cut out to ensure there wasn't anything growing behind the walls (nada!) and then replaced.
Extensive mold damage or anything recurring would be a deal breaker.
