Verifying Property
There is a common myth in the purchase of property that if it is done in good faith, then it must be a good deal which is very much wrong. Before you go on buying property for any reason (residence, business and others) have it verified for any outstanding problems such as with respect to previous insurance policies and issues that might affect the amount of premiums you’ll have to pay because of something you didn’t know. All sellers want to promptly sell their properties and some do go to extreme lengths to hide problems in order to catch that buyer fast. A quick trip to the local city office can prove to be enlightening and would allow you to get the “history” of a stated property beforehand. Better be sure than sorry with a house you can’t insure or has previous records of settling or flood damage. Remember those multi-million dollar properties somewhere in California that were located on scenic hills and mountains that fell to the gullies and cliffs below. The owners of those properties were not informed that the mountains their houses were built on were highly fractured and unstable. Lawsuits flied and heads rolled in the process. So learn from that, and take precautionary measures before you take the bait, hook line and sinker.
