When buying a home, it’s important to ask the seller a variety of questions to ensure you have a clear understanding of the property and any potential issues it may have. Some questions you may want to ask include:
- What is the age of the home and when were any major updates or renovations done?
- Are there any known issues with the property, such as leaks or foundation problems?
- Have there been any previous repairs or remodels done?
- How old are the appliances? and are they in working condition?
- Are there any warranties or guarantees on the appliances, systems or structures?
- What is the heating and cooling system like?
- How old is the roof and when was it last replaced?
- Are there any pests or termite issues on the property?
- Is the property in a flood zone or a wildfire-prone area?
- Are there any restrictions or covenants on the property?
- Are there any potential hazards on the property, such as asbestos or lead paint?
- Are there any HOA fees, and what are they used for?
- Are there any neighborhood improvements planned in the near future?
- Are there any energy-saving features on the property?
- Are there any warranties on the property, such as home warranty?
It’s also worth to have a professional inspector to inspect the property and provide you with a report of the property condition before buying it.
