Water staining in Schofields homes
On a single Schofields pre-purchase inspection we recorded staining four separate times: under kitchen cabinetry twice, and slight staining in two further locations, alongside evidence of leaking and a dripping tap. A stain is not itself a defect. It is a record that water has been somewhere it should not, and the only question worth asking is whether it still is. A historic leak, properly repaired, is a note in a report. An active one is a reason to renegotiate.

Four staining records on one property, plus leaking and a dripping tap.
A stain records where water has been, not necessarily where it still is.
Under cabinetry is the hardest place for an owner to see and the easiest to miss.
The report looks for the source rather than simply noting the mark.
Historic and active leaks are very different purchases at the same price.
