Before moving to your new home, ask your Realtor about the history of your house. They should be able to tell you whether or not the home is in a designated historic neighborhood. A good Realtor should also be able to assist you with finding the names of the previous owners.Try conducting a title search. If you’re purchasing a new home, you’ll most likely do one of these anyway, as many buyers opt to pay for a professional title search. These title searches sift through tax records to show potential home buyers who has legally owned the property from beginning to present day. This way, buyers know with absolute certainty that the person selling them the home is actually the owner.

4. Find out more about the neighbourhood

When a buying a home, you should always learn more about the neighbourhood you are about to move in and the people who are who live in that neighbourhood.You should consider a lot of things before buying a home like the distance between your neighbourhood and work, school and the market or shops.The crime rate of the neighbourhood and the rules that they follow and whether they work for you or not.To ensure you’re not just getting into the home of your dreams, but into a community you’ll love, you need to do some sleuthing and get a feel for what life is like beyond your quarter-acre.

5. Get a home inspection

A quality home inspection can reveal critical information about the condition of a home and its systems. This makes the buyer aware of what costs, repairs and maintenance the home may require immediately, and over time. If a buyer isn't comfortable with the findings of the home inspection, it usually presents one last opportunity to back out of the offer to buy.
