During the inspection, the specialist you hire will examine all the important components of the building envelope, including the foundation, the walls and the drywall, the attic and the roof. The home inspection will also involve the checking and the evaluation of the electrical system, of the plumbing, of the heating, cooling and ventilation systems in the room and the detailed inspection of each of the rooms in the home and of the adjacent construction, such as the shed or the garage. Your inspector will also walk around your landscape to check it. The inspection will not involve the space behind the walls of the building and inspectors usually don’t look into chimneys, behind electrical panels and into sewage pipes.

The inspection process usually concludes in a detailed report in which all the issues discovered during the inspection are included to provide you in-depth information to use for setting the right buying or selling price.

If your budget allows it and you have also found the perfect Heritage at Todd Creek home, the decision to buy the property seems obvious and easy. However, there are a few things that you should pay attention to before you sign the contract – here are a few important aspects to consider:

  • The builder and the building – you need to carry out some very thorough research to determine whether the builder who erected the building is reputable and reliable and you also need to evaluate the data made available about the quality of the building that you are planning to buy;
  • Financing options – the builder of the property you are interested in will probably recommend you their lender, but research the terms the lender provides to you before accepting the offer. Financing solutions vary from one lender to the other and the differences between the options can be quite substantial;
  • Research your rights and obligations as a buyer as well as the rights and obligations of the seller – you need to know exactly what your rights are in terms of cancellation, quality claims and payment and you need to know exactly what are the seller’s rights and obligations as well.

Important Things to Consider Before You Buy Your New Home

Buying a brand new home in Heritage at Todd Creek for yourself and your household can be an exciting time. You get to choose among a variety of different houses for the one that best suits your needs and preferences, and you’ll certainly have a lot to choose from, depending on your budget and what you can afford to pay for on a long term basis.

However, even if you can afford a sizable down payment and a larger monthly payment for your mortgage, there are many important details that remain to be discussed regarding your purchase:

  • First of all, as a first time home buyer, you can apply for certain tax benefits and advantageous offers that could improve your chances at a lower interest rate and down payment.
  • Your credit score will decide whether or not you can apply for a certain offer, even if you have a good enough income and you can afford the down payment. With a low credit score, the bank can still turn down your request for a mortgage, so make sure you boost your credit score before applying.
  • Avoid buying on impulse. A lot of buyers go to a showing and are so impressed with a certain house that they immediately close the deal. This is not a good idea. It’s important to compare the Heritage in Todd Creek house with other homes you’ve seen, and look around carefully to spot any problems that aren’t immediately visible. Also, you should have an expert realtor (who is on “your” side) take a look at the home and advise you on whether or not it’s a good purchase.
