Don’t worry! You’ll Do Great
Making the Minor Home Repairs
You will gain confidence to do bigger home improvement projects. A
word of advice is needed here if your confidence and know how grows
to where you are planning on adding a room yourself. You will need
to pull the proper building permits to avoid possible problems in
the future when you go to sell your home.
Important Home Buyer
Purchasing Tips
If you are planning to buy another home in the future; your agent,
home inspector and especially you need to pay attention when the
seller or their agent is showcasing the bonus room as an extra
bedroom or if they say a room addition has been added to the house
as part of their marketing efforts.
A bonus room can only be called a true bedroom if
it has a window and closet. Certain types of federally insured
loans will require the appraiser to verify a room meets the
definition of bedroom. What if you advertise
to sell the house later as a 4 bedroom house only to find out the
buyer's loan was halted due to the bedroom definition?
Verify the addition to the house was built to code
requirements and all of the proper permits were pulled.
What if you try to sell the house later
and the buyer asks for you to prove the room addition was
built to code and proper permits were pulled?
Either way, you lose by
having to spend big bucks to prove the room was built to code and
you lose even more if the room was not built to code. It could cost
you thousands of dollars to bring the room up to code?
Be very careful with homes that have
rooms added on after the house was built.
