We understand that if you are buying an existing house its not the same as buying a new house. Building codes are updated every three years. In Texas residential homes are "grandfathered" meaning that they are not required to retrofit each time codes change. We will discuss some of these with you and how they effect you as a buyer.
As mentioned earlier some home owners take very good care of their homes, others do not. Our goal is for you to have a very good understanding of the house you are buying. We want to help you avoid any expensive surprises after you move in. It is important for you to be confident with your decision. |
