Buying a Home, 7 RED Flags | Aiken, SC


Buying a home is a serious step. Here are some RED FLAGS to look for, which might indicate there is deeper problem or concern.

 

1.      Too Much Scent

Could be masking offensive odors.

2.      Wonky Windows

Can signal issue with installation or foundation. Might have to budget on spending some money to repair of fix.

3.      Bad Ventilation

Could allow moisture to stick around creating mold inside a home or in the crawl space. We see this in poorly ventilated bathrooms or just owners who fail to turn on the exhaust fan.

4.      Poor Tiling

Maybe DIY or bad installer, can be costly to redo entire area.

5.      Water Damage

Musty odors could be an indicator. Check walls, ceilings, even flooring for water marks or staining. Investigate history of these areas as best as possible.

6.      Foundation Issues

Large Gaps in foundation, uneven floors, and remarkable cracks inside or outside the house.

7.      Poor Maintenance

Can indicate seller ignored other ongoing issues or an investment property and tenant did not share active issues.

 

We always recommend having a home inspector, licensed contractor or expert in that field to evaluate any areas of concern to confirm you know what you are buying. We want our clients as well informed as possible. Do you need help and guidance buying or selling your property? We would love to be your entrusted team.
