Over the past 15 years as a Real Estate Licensed Salesperson, within New York State of New York, I have oftenwitnessed potential home buyers, who let their feelings dictate their decisions about buying a home instead of proceeding in a way that is aligned between their rational and emotional components, in the balance of their hearts and heads in blue world city Islamabad!Since, for most buyers, the value of their home is their biggest financial asset, wouldn't it be sense for each prospectivehomeowner to take the time to review and evaluate as many factors, as possibleprior to making such an important commitment?In this regard this article will try to briefly consider and review, look at and then discuss five most important aspects, which I strongly recommendbeing carefully, inspected, considered and analyzed prior to making a decision.
1.Roofs/ windows and so on:In some states, a requirement of selling, is, merely, having a roof, which isn't leaking!However, since most roofs are rated, they are for the duration of a certain, effective periodor lifespan, generally, between 20, and 40 years.Obviously, the longer - timeframe is thought to be the most superior one!What year was it when it was installed, and, how many layers, of roofing are on the present one?Is it, leak - free, or will it require repair or replacement at some point in the future?Are the windows you have, original, or replacement ones and, if the windows that were replaced, when were they replaced, and with what type of windows?Are they leak-proof, draft - free either single or double-pane? what material, and manufacturer and, if so, what is your satisfaction with the installation?These must be closely inspected, and considered!
2.HVAC(Heating Ventilation, Heating, Air Conditioning, etc.):What fuel is used, and what condition is the current heating system?How about air quality/ ventilation?Do you notice any smells, or other smells that can be detected?If, there is an air conditioning unit, which type of system is it? how energy - efficient and quiet, as well as filtered, and, when was it set up, and is it efficient and effective?Since, replacing these type of componentsare typically, significant expenses, and costly, wouldn't it make sense?
3.Basement:Don't make the mistake of overlooking the basement!A thorough investigation of it often will yield important details, including air quality-related problems; previous water damage, structural problems; etc.
4.Plumbing and electrical:Have all plumbing and electrical component, carefully examined/inspected!Always flush your toilet, run each faucet, check outside water lines.Check for leaks, water pressure problems and more!Additionally, you should check every outlet, light fixture and other wiring. Have the electrical box inspected, for its integrity, safety, and efficiency!
5.Land and exterior factors - pitch/ drainage, and so on:Check both of the exterior factors, related to the house/building and the rest of the property!Don't ignore the slope of the land. to ensure it's level, away from your home, and also, that all locations that could affect drainage, etc, looked at carefully, and in - depth!
As the majority of people don't have the experience to properly, comprehensively, study and evaluate these important, crucial aspects/issues an informed, prospective homeowner should proceed equipped with the necessary knowledge. should be aware of these and employ a professional home inspector/ engineer!Proceed, as a wise prospective homebuyer!
