Tips for Finding the Perfect Home

Looking for the perfect home in Barnstead? Keep these tips in mind. 

• Consider the structural integrity of the home. Things like paint color, carpeting, landscaping, and cleanliness can be easily addressed, but structural issues like slanted floors, leaking roofs, and cracked foundations can be more complicated to deal with!
• Consider what you want versus what you truly need. For example, certain aspects, such as the number of bedrooms or proximity to a reputable school, may be non-negotiable. However, if you find a home that checks all of your other boxes, can you do without a walk-in closet, fenced-in yard, or two-car garage?
• Prioritize health and safety. Problems like black mold, radon, lead paint, and asbestos can be challenging to manage and often require professional remediation, as they could potentially pose serious health hazards. If you suspect environmental hazards in a home you are considering, it’s best to consult licensed professionals who specialize in these issues before closing on a property. A good home inspection may be able to detect some of these issues, and you should always review any property disclosures provided with a listing.
• Get a home inspection. A home inspection can reveal hidden issues with the home before you close. Making your offer contingent on the results allows you to renegotiate or modify the sales agreement should any significant issues arise during the inspection.
