There is a significant amount of due diligence prospective home buyers must do before buying a home. Without the proper due diligence, a home buyer can be in an unfortunate situation. While most home buyers will not forget to do due diligence on the interior of a home, some may forget to check on its exterior. A home’s exterior should very much be under the microscope before buying a home becomes official. In this blog, we will explain what exterior parts home buyers should check out before signing the papers.
1. Verify The Age of The Roof
Some roof’s may appear invincible but most roofs cannot last forever. The last thing any homebuyer wants is to move into a new home and experience issues with their roof right away. In order to avoid a roof disaster shortly after moving into a new home, it is essential to know the age of the home roof before buying the home. It is best to see documents that verify when the roof was last installed or repaired rather than just trusting what someone says. Buying a new home is already expensive as it is. You should not have to pay for a new roof shortly after moving into a new home unless you want to.
2. Check On The Condition of The Roof
Once you find out how old a home’s roof is, the next thing to do is check on the condition of the roof. Even if a home’s roof is just a few years old, it does not mean it is in good condition. It does not take much for a roof to get damaged so checking out how a roof actually looks is important. If you are not comfortable checking on the roof on your own, you can always hire someone to do it.
