    Oops. I thought this was you first. Either way, just some of the things I’ve noticed over the years. I think I kept going with the list for my benefit too when future mrs. dx and I are looking for our first house together.

      Well, I own a townhouse, so it's not like it's a real house. It's a half-house.

          Good Afternoon Lodge!

          We could have used that list altho some of the things have become issues over the space of a few decades.

            That's kinda it, really.

            I know whenever I moved into a new apt, I checked off EVERYTHING wrong, and added a few notes, no matter how minor (security deposit reasons). You notate EVERYTHING.

                  Good morning Lodge.

                  Regarding the house stuff. I am not an expert but I have purchased 3 homes in my life. Each time I hired an inspector to go through the house and property and report issues large and small. Written in the purchase agreement it stated that sale was pending based on results of inspection. I also negotiated with sellers in purchasing a home buyer warranty. The home buyer warranty covers things like: electrical systems, plumbing systems, heating and cooling systems, washer and dryer and kitchen appliances.

                  Edit. Granted 2 of the 3 homes were recently built but they still could have issues. Obviously older homes have significant potential of having multiple issues.

                    I don’t think I’d ever buy a home warranty. And including it on the seller’s side doesn’t matter. You still pay for it.

                    The biggest problem with warranties is that there is often only certain parts that are covered and there can very often be high deductibles. You might still have to pony up a good chunk of change. It doesn’t make sense unless you have cash flow issues and carefully read through and fully understand what is covered and how it’s covered.

                      Not necessarily true. Once we negotiated the price for our home I then brought up home warranty. Seller paid for two years. Our home was 2 years old when we purchased. Within first year of owning our home we had to have furnace replaced. We also had central air issues and the fridge went out. Each was covered 100% without any out of pocket expenses.

                        As part of my sale, we did 1 year off the bat, knowing that the furnace, A/C,, water heater, fridge, and stove were all 14 years old. It was a selling point to potential buyers. After the inspection, the buyers requested that we add a second year to the warranty. So we did. The deductible for repairs is $75-100, chump change when compared to the big ticket items.

                          Come to think of it I think we had to pay a very small deductible. But a fraction compared to the overall price.

                          When we walked through our home and as we became serous about purchasing I had my dad assist. I am mechanically handicapped. My dad was not and he owed a plumbing and heating company. He immediately notified us that the brand and model of our heating and cooling systems had known issues. That kind of feedback/knowledge is priceless.
