If you have questions that you would like to have asked but didn’t - please leave in the comments below, we would love to hear from you.
Questions that all homebuyers should ask:
What is the condition of the property?
Ask about the age and condition of major systems like boiler, plumbing, and electrical. Are there any known issues or recent repairs or replacements?
What is included in the sale?
Never assume, or clarify which fixtures, appliances, and furnishings are included with the sale of the home. This can include items like kitchen appliances, light fixtures, and window treatments. It has been known that buyers have moved in to find even the light bulbs had been taken and not included in the sale.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Ask about the neighbourhood’s amenities, nearby schools, parks, public transportation, and safety. Understanding the neighbourhood dynamics is crucial for your quality of life.
What are the costs associated with the property?
Besides the purchase price, ask about property taxes, homeowners association fees, utility costs, and any upcoming special assessments. Understanding the total cost of ownership is essential for budgeting.
Why is the seller moving, have they lived there long?
While not always disclosed, understanding the seller's motivation to move can provide insights into the property's history. It can also give you a sense of any potential issues with the property or neighbourhood.
