Think it’s just a home inspection? Think again!

From A Heads-Up for Home Buyers, 11 Things you might not have thought about.

Look left, look right, and look again – Your home purchase contract contains a clause granting you a certain number of days for an inspection period. Do not just schedule a home inspection then sit back and wait for it to happen. There are numerous other considerations that should be on your radar during that time; check out the property’s insurance claim history, neighborhood traffic patterns, surrounding communities, visit the local police station and ask for crime statistics, visit schools, locate hospitals, check out parks. Is the proximity of a sex offender important to you? There are web sites for that. Is there an airport nearby? If so, what are the landing and take-off patterns? Is the property adjacent to a business that might have night or early morning deliveries? Any of these factors and so many more, might be a deal-breaker for you. Your inspection period allows you to inspect anything and everything before continuing with your purchase.
