Summary

You're about to purchase your dream house, but have you checked the wiring, the plumbing, the roof, that crack in the basement wall? Inspecting a House is designed to ensure that you don't lose thousands of dollars on that seemingly perfect home. It shows you how to avoid the pitfalls of buying, and how to check the structure, exterior, and interior of your big purchase. You'll learn how to find the right building permits, negotiate contracts, and buy building supplies. The guide also contains recent regulations on insulation and heating.
