Going to look at the house I'm thinking about buying. If I get a thumbs up from the guy that it's in good shape, I'm making them an offer.

Wish me luck, and wisdom or something, that I make the right move! grin

May wisedom be with you on this one!!!!

Extra things to look for ...

Lift up carpets to check state of floors underneath especially if wooden

Put your hand on "obviously" newly repainted walls to check if they feel damp (if in doubt check the feeling with other non-damp walls - might be different in USA but in UK damp can be a deal breaker)

If there is attic, check insulation

Find out if they have had central heating/aircon system regularly serviced ...

Drive around the area and house, in the morning, in the afternoon AND in the evening, week days AND weekend, and just look and listen, give you an idea of what the neighbourhood is like

Listen to your gut instinct and DONT reason with it!!!

Good luck
hug
