What to check
These are general points, not statements about this home’s condition. An inspector and the seller’s disclosures answer them for this property.
- Age of the home. Homes built before 1990 can still have original electrical panels, plumbing, windows and water heaters. An inspector can date each major system so a buyer can plan for what is likely to need replacing.
