BEFORE YOU BOOK

Start with the changes.

A finished basement, a new kitchen and a replacement heating system each tell a different part of a home’s story. Compare the visible work with available permit records, then use the inspection to understand its condition today.

  1. 01

    What changed behind the finishes?

    Bring the seller’s renovation dates and any permits or final approvals. We can compare that history with the accessible electrical, plumbing and structural details.

  2. 02

    What heated the house before?

    If the property once used oil, ask for tank location, removal and closure paperwork. A different heating system today does not explain what happened to an older tank.

  3. 03

    What does the basement tell us?

    Point out past water entry, new finishes or musty areas. Moisture readings and the accessible foundation help put those observations in context.

A SMART START

Let the address
lead the way.

Review available records before the inspection. They can help you ask better questions, but they do not describe every condition at the property.
