Technology has made access to information quick and easy. Even so, most people fail do research or conduct a thorough due diligence before making big investment decisions. For any real estate investment, the technical, legal and commercial aspects of a property should be well understood. It is wise to use the services of structural consultants, lawyers and financial advisors to ensure you are making an informed decision. Research and due diligence is a necessity, not an indulgence. When you undermine its importance you not only risk your present but also the future of those inheriting your investment.

A load-bearing wall in a building is one that fulfils the function of providing support for the building and other elements such as beams, vaults, lintels, pillars, columns, etc. The materials most often used to construct load-bearing walls in large buildings are concrete, stone, block, or brick. These walls are usually more than 30 centimetres wide. When carrying out renovations, it is important not to tamper with the structure of the load-bearing wall as doing so could damage the stability of the building.
A double glazed unit refers to a sealed unit consisting of two panes of glass, a metal spacer that runs between the two panes on the periphery, and an inert gas or nitrogen-filled cavity between the two panes of glass.

The gap serves to provide both heat and sound insulation.
