Steps Before You Buy
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
When considering a house to buy, hire an experienced contractor or home inspector to evaluate the quality of construction. It’s easy to see whether construction standards are high or not if the house is still under construction. If the house isn’t built yet or is already finished, have the inspector or contractor view other houses the developer is in the process of building.
Even if the house is finished when you bought it, hire an inspector to give it a thorough examination. Visit your home site regularly during construction and take the final walk-through to catch last minute aesthetic defects.
