12 points that should not be overlooked If you are thinking of buying a second-hand house
1. Look up at the roof of the house.
The roof of a house is considered the most important structure because if it is damaged or leaks at this time, both rain and dust will easily creep in. So first we have to look up at the roof of the house. Survey the damage or simply look at the condition of the house's roof. If it looks very old, it would be better to offer to have the roof replaced. This will avoid the hassle of having to pay to replace the roof yourself later.
2. Survey the laying of pipes and wires.
Utilities such as plumbing, sewerage, and electrical wiring should also be observed. Because if the pipe system is not well laid out This will cause problems with water pipes leaking, clogging, and not draining water as well as it should. Or if the plumbing system is not laid out properly. There will be a problem with the water not flowing strong. or the flow becomes less convenient As for organizing the wires, it's the same. If the technician does not have the expertise and the wiring is not correct. The house will not look beautiful. Moreover, if there is an electrical leak, it can easily cause an electric shock.
3. Check the walls and floor tiles.
Most homes that are ready for resale have beautiful decorations. inviting to buy But don't forget to admire the beauty and overlook the structure of the floor and walls. and tiled floors as well Because if there are cracks Stains from various stains on the walls or uneven tiling will be noticed. and ask him to repair it in time.
4. Be careful of water leakage problems.
If you notice damp spots on the lower wall. The interval between the joint of the wall and the floor. That shows that The sewerage system of this house has a problem. It may be caused by improper installation of the sewerage system. Or it may be because the roof structure has developed a leak. Therefore, you should inform your real estate agent or previous home owner of this problem from the beginning. So that he can find a way to manage or may even have to dismantle the new sewerage system.
5. Electric stoves are better than gas stoves.
For the kitchen If possible, I would recommend choosing an electric stove instead of a gas stove. Because it gets hot faster and has less risk It also has modern beauty inside. Make the kitchen more beautiful and usable And even though an electric stove wastes electricity But it cannot be denied that it is safer than a gas stove that may leak.
6. Avoid asbestos insulation.
Few people know that asbestos, one of the ingredients in various construction materials, is actually quite dangerous to health. Because if you inhale more than the amount It may accumulate in the body and cause tumors. or cancer Therefore, it is best to avoid using construction materials that contain asbestos. Most of which can be found in corrugated roof tiles, drainpipes, floor tiles, ceilings, walls, and heat insulation. Can be easily noticed from the shiny material. Or you can use the method of asking directly to the house selling agent.
7. Check the air conditioning system
A house with air conditioning You should also check the cooling system. Whether it is an air conditioner with a centrally controlled operating system or Central A/C or not, because this system has many evaporator coils which can cool more than one room at the same time. Therefore providing coolness throughout the entire house. Saves more energy than other air conditioning systems. In addition, you should ask the previous owner of the house. How many years has the air conditioner been installed? And when was the last time you cleaned the air conditioner? But if you want to be sure It's best to call an air conditioning technician to check the air conditioning system and let them know.
8. Location is important.
It is believed that the location of the house is one of the first things that home buyers will consider. Because if you have a house in a good location with a market, department store, school, or close to work, that would be great. It is considered a prime location where house prices are likely to be quite expensive. Therefore, if your budget for buying a house is small Choose a location where it is easy to travel anywhere, not chaotic, not far from civilization. Children's school and your workplace as much as possible
9. The floor must not be sloping.
In addition to having to check the wall and floor tiles, The flooring structure of the house should not be overlooked either. Because if the technician has not laid the floor of the house smoothly and evenly There may be a problem with the house sloping and doors and windows not being able to close properly. And the floor will corrode easily. So if you encounter a problem like this must inform those responsible. In order to continue repairing and solving problems.
10. The electrical system must be sufficient.
The electrical system in the home should have a meter that can support the power usage of 15 amps or 30 amps, which is ideal, in order to safely support turning on electrical appliances at the same time. No need to risk a power outage for the entire house or a dangerous short circuit. However, you may have to notify the electricity company of your wish to install an additional meter yourself. In case that house uses less power meter than you need.
11. Spy on insects
Insects and various animals that surround the house should be careful. Especially for wooden houses, you must take care of ants, moths, and termites because these insects can cause the wooden floor to decay. It wears out of use faster than it should. And if it is found that there are signs of gnawing on the wood or traces of the wooden floor being destroyed You must immediately notify the pest exterminator to come deal with it. To prevent more damage than this.
12. Must not have mold stains and dirt.
A livable home must be spotless. and free from all types of fungal germs Therefore, before deciding to buy a house You should walk around and carefully inspect every nook and cranny of the house. Especially in the dead zone area and window sills, wall corners, floors, and walls that have dirt stains And is there a fungus? If found, it means that the house is not clean anymore. There may also be problems with floors, walls, and windows leaking.
