Pre Built Homes

what could be nicer than going to look for a new home, deciding you want a completely new home, built just for you, and finding it already built There are many communities popping up internationally that build communities, some gated and some unsecured, which have prebuilt homes all ready for those who want to view and occupy them without the expense and the wait time associated with building. Working from a set of plans they have purchased, developers will then build the homes in one community, and when they are completed put them up for sale.

This usually involves a very sizeable cut in the cost of the building for the client, who knows exactly what hes getting, exactly where it will be, who can plan for the schools, work commute and many other aspects of the home move, which are left up in the air when one is looking at real estate or seeking property to purchase for building another home of their own. Prebuilt homes have many distinct advantages over those you build yourself using plans you must purchase.

The first advantage of course would be cost, since each of the homes will be ready, and the final costs already in, there is no worry that you will go over budget on your home build The second advantage will be the final product. There isnt any guess work when the finished product sits before you for your inspection and the inspection of those whom you hire to see to the homes fitness for your living space./ Furnaces and ductwork, water pipes and heater are all there for your perusal and you yourself can be certain that each aspect of the home is workable and as perfect for you as if you truly had built it with your own hands.

Another advantage is the protracted wait time that happens whenever you choose to build a new home wont be happening with this one. There isnt a worry that your home will sell while the new one isnt readied yet for your living. Its already there waiting for your personal property to be moved into it. Theres no concern that you wont make your deadline to move before the holidays, or the snow flies. There isnt a worry that your contractor will be too busy to finish what hes begun f while the weather is still nice. All of the worry has been taken out of the process for you. Its already home.

A Sanitation System Checklist - Consult Before Buying Somebody Else's Problem

Given that nearly half of all the homes in America are on septic systems, anyone buying a home outside major metropolitan areas has a one in two chance of ending up with a septic system. Few states require inspection of sanitation systems before allowing homeowners to sell. The assumption is that you, the potential buyer, will do your own inspection. The same would be true when buying commercial buildings. Here is a walk-through list of what to ask and what to do.

First
What type of sanitation is in place?
If the property has city hookup, what is the monthly fee?
If the property is new but permitted for city hookup, what will be the cost?

With city sewer hookup you need go no further with this checklist.

Second
What sanitation system is in place?
When was it first used?
What records are available showing problems, repairs and any alterations?

Without a trustworthy maintenance record you are about to buy a pig in a poke.

Third If the sanitation system is a septic system, ask these questions:

When was it installed?
Have there been any problems?
Where is the maintenance documentation?
What is the cost of operating the system?
How often does it need routine monitoring and servicing?
How long is the system expected to last?

Fourth Ask to inspect the leech field.

The leech field is the area where perforated lines have been laid below the ground surface. Treated waste is dispersed through these lines and discharges into the ground. Look for pools of water and areas of mud on the surface of this area. These would be indicators that the treated waste matter is not percolating into the ground properly: a red flag.

Look for ruts and tire tracks. Driving a vehicle, tractor or heavy machinery over a leechfield can crack or compress the leech lines: a red flag.

Check for the access manhole cover where the septic system would be pumped. Also check for how the system's tanks or treatment chambers are accessed. In both cases be sure the access is secured against a small child accidentally falling or climbing into the system. Any access covers should be out of the traffic pattern of vehicles and machinery so as to ensure that the cover will not be accidentally be damaged or loosened. This is important in places where snow could cover them to the point that a driver would not know they are there.

Fifth If the property does not have city hookup or a septic system ask these questions about the alternative system:

What is the system?
When was it installed?
How long is it expected to last?
How does it work?
What does it cost to operate?
What are you supposed to do to keep the system operating well?
What problems have there been and when did the problems occur?
What was the solultion and how much did it cost?
Where are the service and maintenance records?

Then: ask for a demonstration.

Remember: aside from the toilet, most of a home's sanitation system is hidden from view. That makes it easy to take for granted that everything is in working order. The tendency is to ignore what is not visible. Sanitation is one of the hidden foundations on which any civilization rests. At the current time in our history that foundation could be in considerably better condition than is the case!
