Potential home buyers should be aware of certain things associated with your new home. You don’t necessarily get the brand newness that you’d expect when you purchase a new home. It may not be in good shape, (although it may appear that way) and it may offer just as much problems as an older home does.
We’re going to show you some of the things that you need to pay attention to in order to determine the quality of the home you’re interested in before you actually decide to hire a house inspector. Check them out.
- The home’s structure – you should look for various things from a distant vantage point, like the walls, the floors, the corners and more.
- The water control in and around the house. You have to do thing like ensure the ground is sloped away from the home’s base and that there is no previous water damage, among other things.
- The house’s roof need to be in good shape, new and neat, etc. It has to take quite a lot of pressure from the elements.
- Look at the various details throughout your home to see if work and products are of good quality.
- Check the kitchen and bathroom fixtures to ensure that they are of good quality and they work properly as well.
- Make sure that the electrical systems are adequate to the house and are functioning properly.
- See that the water supply pipes from the water heater to the fixtures are made of copper and see which types of water heater you have (electric or gas).
- Check out what type of furnace or heater you have and make sure all the necessary rooms in the house are heated. Do the same checks for the air conditioning system.
- Ensure that the attic is properly insulated and also check for wall insulation by removing a receptacle cover on the perimeter wall.
- Do a check on the fireplace to make sure that it’s safe and efficient.
