it now Online! Too often people decide to buy a house for the wrong reasons: they fall in love with the stained-glass windows or hardwood floors, the big backyard or tree-lined street. A newly built home may offer the family room and walk-in closet that a buyer has always wanted. Signing the offer to purchase while dreaming of pleasant evenings in front of the fireplace, future homeowners get carried away with the excitement of the moment and forget to check whether the house is sound and in good repair. Only later, when getting settled into their dream home, do purchasers discover that the roof leaks, the wiring is faulty, the plumbing is ancient, or the basement floods every time it rains. |
In this 200 page book Alan Carson and Robert Dunlop explain to the
prospective buyer how to tell if a house is in good condition, focusing
on the following:
- The structure, exterior, and interior of the house
- Heating systems, electrical wiring, and insulation
- Plumbing and the basement
- The Functions of architects, designers, consultants, and general contractors
- Planning and budgeting, building permits, contracts, new building materials, and much more!
