While buying a Brantford/Brant County Home there are many aspects of a property that attract you to it. But one of the most important parts of buying a home is noticing the negative as well as the positive. Finding a home that has great curb appeal is nice, but when you look down the street, are other yards littered with for sale signs? When multiple homes in one neighborhood are for sale, chances are there is something wrong with the neighborhood. Asking questions is always the best choice. Find out why so many people are moving away from that area.
Freshly painted walls are a big selling point in a home; however when only one wall in a room has fresh paint on it, that usually means something happened. Whether it is something small like covering holes from hanging art, or spackling a large area where a hole once was, it is important to notice the discrepancies between each wall.
When you're walking through a home and your nose is filled with a strong scent of perfume or potpourri, chances are it means that there is another smell that they are trying to cover up. It could be the smell of cigarettes, or a pet that isn’t well trained. Some smells are practically impossible to get out of the home so this is definitely something that would need to be fixed before closing. Looking at the outside of the home, seeing plants growing from the gutters, you may casually think that the gutters need to be cleaned out. If the past owners didn’t clean them, what else didn’t they clean? Something that seems small and miniscule can end up costing you hundreds of dollars in clean up all around the home.
Occasionally, while showing the home, you'll notice that certain rooms will be off limits or locked. Ask why. There may be a dog that they don’t want to get out. There could also be a major construction error that the sellers don’t want you to see right away.
Any and all questions that come to your mind should be asked, and you should always be provided with a confident and factual answer.
