When you buy a used home, it goes without saying that you inspect all components of your potential new home from top to bottom - inside and out! This includes checking plumbing, electrical wiring, roofs, windows/doors/frames, floors, walls/ceilings/insulation, appliances (if any) and much more. If something doesn't look right or needs to be repaired immediately after you take possession, be sure to negotiate with the seller about it beforehand so there are no surprises when everything is completed.
