What is UFFI and how does it affect me?

A....What is UFFI and how does it affect me?

From Zoocasa ASK THE PROS

A ...... Robert Ede

UFFI is a substance that if improperly installed can emit formaldehyde gas (as does new particle-board furniture & cupboards, carpetting and the hunman body)




After a period of time (no matter how poorly-installed) it goes inert.



Some people are more acutely sensitive to formaldehyde gas than others.



It hasn't been installed in a long time in Canada and now it's just a "stigma"



Like a death in a house, former grow op/ chem lab, backing onto a hydro-corridor .... some people just will not buy it.



Others will buy it at a discount (often as a rental, not to live in)



Because of the diminished demand and the fact that you (and every registrant who knows about it) will have to disclose the fact ... you will sell for less.



If you're thinking about buying a UFFI house .... ask yourself it it's worth the bother.



Hence the diminished demand.
