| The last thing you
want when you assume possession of your new home is to find it
in a total mess. Therefore, you should make
it clear in your offer that certain minimum standards are required.
If you do not, you might find out the seller or neighbors have
begun using the back yard as a trash dump, or something worse – and
you would not be able to do anything about it.
Some of the requirements you might want to include in your offer
are that the roof does not leak, the appliances work, the plumbing
does not leak, that there are no broken or cracked windows, the
yard has been kept up, and any debris has been cleared away.
