The buyer should consider the following:

(1) Exactly what property is included in the sale? Lighting fixtures, drapes or blinds, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and dryers are often problem areas.

(2) Is the neighborhood quiet, friendly? Are the homes well kept?

(3) Are there any development plans that will affect the property?

(4) The inspection report - are there any substantial problems with the house?

(5) Real estate taxes - what are the current property taxes, and what impact will your purchase have on the taxes?
