Re: Looking at an older home to buy

Get estimates from plumbers, electrician and any other craftsmen you might need to work on the house. There are varying levels of Home Inspectors, find a good one and pay for him yourself so he answers to you not the seller or title company.

Assume you need a full re-wire and breaker panel, and as mentioned get the coax/CAT6 runs at the same time.

Have the fresh water pressure/pulse checked to test integrity of piping. If it hasn’t had a recipe in the last 20yrs it’s beyond past due.
They have to provide a lead paint certificate on anything older than 1978.
How olds the roof? And does it have multiple layers?

Lastly use a realtor, once you sign a buyers rep we work for you and not the seller. I’d be happy to help, pm me if you aren’t working with another agent already.
