There is a house for sale in our street, the exact same house that we are renting and since we have not purchased a house yet ( have been looking for a while then hubby lost job and so on) i have my eye on it.
My neighbour and i noticed the other day that it looks like the bricks have been painted. They have tried to give it a rendered look by painting the bricks. My neighbour told me to stay away from it because painting the bricks attracts termites!!! Is that true, i have never heard of that before and would having the paint on the bricks be problem in years to come, like for instance it peeling off? The house would only be 4 years old if that helps any.
I am sure there is someone on here who can answer this for me. I like the colour of the paint so that is not a problem but i am concerned about what my neighbour has said.
Thanks from Kim
