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.
- Septic system. A septic system is a buried tank and drain field in place of a city sewer line. A septic inspection, which usually includes pumping and checking the tank, is separate from a standard home inspection, so a buyer asks for it by name.
- Homeowners association. Ask for the association budget, the reserve study and the rules before the inspection period ends. Fees, special assessments and rules on things like parking or rentals change the real cost of owning the home.
Questions to ask the listing agent
A buyer can bring these to the listing agent. They come from what the listing shows, not from anything known about the seller.
- When was the septic tank last pumped, and are there records of past inspections?
- Where are the lot lines, and are there easements, fences or shared roads on the land?
- Are there special assessments planned, and what does the association fee cover?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
