Checklist:
- Check the Roof and Gutters: Ensure your roof is in a good condition by looking out for missing shingles or any leaks. Also cleaning your gutters and downspouts is very important to prevent water damage.
- Inspect the Plumbing System: Ensure that faucets, toilets, and showers are working properly and free of leakages. You must pay attention to the water pressure and check under sinks for signs of mold.
- Check Your Electrical System: Look out for any exposed wiring and make sure your outlets are all working. See if the circuit breaker is working and is also up to date. These are very minuscule details that count a lot.
- Examine the HVAC System: Ideally consider replacing or at the very least cleaning your HVAC filter to ensure its working properly.
- Look for Signs of Pests: You must check for signs of rodents or insects, such as droppings or nests. Address these issues as a priority, as this will be a major red flag.
- Ensure Proper Insulation: Having proper insulation in your attic or crawl spaces will prevent heat losses and moisture buildup. So do ensure, insulation is properly installed.
- Fix Minor Repairs: You must address small repairs, like leaky faucets, a cracked window, or damaged baseboards. These will make a massive difference in the overall impression of your house
- Clean the Home Thoroughly: A clean, well-maintained home gives a great impression. Ensure carpets are vacuumed, floors are clean, and windows are spotless before the inspection.
- Test Appliances: Ensure all built-in appliances (dishwasher, stove, refrigerator) are functioning correctly. If there’s any sign of malfunction, get them repaired before the inspection for best results.
- Check for Safety Features: Make sure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working. Also, verify that handrails are secure on staircases and that there are no tripping hazards.
