When buying a home, there are a ton of things that should be noted before putting in the offer — you’ve got a ton to look at after all! And when it comes to a purchase such as this, there is far more than just the color of the walls to consider. So, what exactly are the important things that many people miss? We’ve got a few we believe you should be carefully examining — take a look below!
Flooring
It’s much more important to think about the flooring from a perspective that considers what else might be needed in addition to a refinishing. If possible, take a look at the boards underneath and check for water damage, cracks, splitting and more. For many reasons, it’s important to see what you might be getting yourself into before moving in. With new flooring may come a ton more work than you were considering — be prepared for this!
Walls
Again, if you’re planning on doing a ton of remodeling on your home within the next few years, it’s a good idea to figure out what exactly your walls are constructed of and how you can keep everything pristine and ready for your decor. Simple planks of sheet rock might not be the best options for hanging heavy items, and the last thing you need is another hefty project.
Appliances
The number one thing is the appliances. While they might appear to work, it’s not uncommon to want to replace them — however if they’re working, you might not need to! Though this might seem like a good idea, make sure to check up on the warranty information and see how much you might be able to get out of it — especially if there are a few years left over for warranty repairs. This way, you’re covered if something decides to go within the first few months or years of owning the home.
