When viewing a house, its important to ask the right questions to make an informed decision about whether its the right home for you. Here are some questions to consider asking:
- Why is the seller moving?
- What comes with the property?
- How old is the roof?
- Are there any necessary renovations?
- Were there any additions or major renovations?
- How old is the property?
- How long has the house been on the market?
- Whats included in the sale?
- Is there a homeowners association?
- What are the neighbors like?
- Is the home in a flood zone or prone to other natural disasters?
- Have there been any other offers?
- How much does the house cost?
- What is the total budget, including additional costs such as property taxes, homeowners insurance, and ongoing maintenance?
- What are the broadband and signal like in the house?
Its also important to ask about any upcoming renovations, the water pressure in the shower, and whether the current homeowners are moving out after a short period. Additionally, its recommended to ask if there have been any homeowners insurance claims filed in the last seven years. Finally, its best to attend viewings with a spouse or partner and avoid bringing children.
