So by now, you have found your house and have reached an
initial agreement with the seller. To close the deal though, you must remove
contingencies. But how do you feel comfortable enough to remove them? You do
due diligence. If you discover a reason you should not be purchasing this house
in doing due diligence, you are saving yourself a lot of heartache and money and
removing yourself from the transaction while you are still able to.
One of your first major inquiries will be for: homeowners insurance and property inspections. While this may cause another round of negotiations-these steps are to protect you the buyer. In regards to your home owners insurance policy, here are some things to think about:
Once insurance has been picked, proof of insurance is sent to your lender and arrange for you to prepay a year’s worth of premium as part of your closing costs. Next let’s talk to a property inspector. While looking for your guy, review the seller’s disclosure - a written statement of the owner’s knowledge of the property’s current condition. Back to the inspector, here’s some things to ask him:
You have picked your person and the inspection has been set up-if possible attend your inspection. Once the report is ready, it is emailed to you. It is very important to read it first. Remember no home is perfect, but when asking for repairs-keep them health and safety related. Once you and the seller have come to agreement about what repairs are to be done or compensation-we move on survey, title work, and appraisal.
This ride is almost over, but it isn’t over yet. Join us next week as we get ready to close the deal!
