It must be remembered that buying a house is always associated with certain risks. When buying real estate, regardless of its size, year of construction and location, it is necessary to consider a number of very important factors.
Not everyone has enough free time, skill and funds to build their own dream home. Therefore, many who dream of their own country house are looking for a way out of the situation in the secondary real estate market.
To look at a suitable option that at first glance suits you in all respects is only half the battle. Everything is not so simple, because behind the beautiful facade of the house, many of its flaws and flaws can be carefully hidden.
Before starting the inspection
Why was the house built? This is the very first thing to find out before you start examining the option you like. If the house was built by the owner for himself and he lived in it for some time, this is very good. If the building was being built for sale, you should think about whether it is worth contacting it at all.
It is necessary to take into account the fact that when the purpose of building a house is its subsequent sale, the quality of materials for construction is certainly poor. In most cases, a person who decides to first build and then sell a house will save as much as possible and buy only the cheapest building materials. Alas, this is the law of the market: "buy cheaper - sell more expensive."
Another important nuance is that it is best to inspect the house before buying it in the spring, since at this time of the year all the problems associated with excessive moisture, dampness and the impact on the building (especially the basement) of groundwater will be visible at a glance. We are talking about streaks, mildew and mold on the walls.
Roofing, sewerage, light and heating
The condition of the roof of the house is one of the most important points to consider. Examining the house, you should climb into the attic and carefully examine the inside of the roof. You also need to make sure that the building drainage system is working properly.
When checking the drain, you need to flush a large amount of water in the house and make sure that it is drained into the cesspool quickly and without any problems. By the way, the more spacious the cesspool, the less often you will have to call a sewer truck later.
The condition of electrical wiring, water supply and heating systems - all this must be carefully checked before giving your consent to buy a house. So, if the wires in the switchboard are in complete disarray, then the electrical wiring in the house can fail at any time.
It will also not hurt to check the operation of the heating boiler. If the batteries in the house become warmer after half an hour after turning on the boiler, then there is nothing to worry about.
