There are several ways to help support a trouble-free home purchase:

• A written property disclosure statement from the seller will reveal
  any problems with the house and the surrounding area that you need
  to know about.
  

• Professional inspections can reveal structural, roof, termite and other
  problems with the property that the seller will need to remedy.
  
  
• A home warranty can give you peace of mind by providing repair-or-replace coverage of major home operating systems and appliances.
  
  
• A preliminary title report informs you of any problems with the property’s title and a policy of title insurance protects your rights to the property.
  
  
• A walk-through before closing will allow you to make sure all
  required work has been take care of and that the property is ready
  to become yours.
