Getting your offer accepted is but one step towards your
goal of home ownership.
The next step is to schedule a home inspection.
Massachusetts Law provides a 10 day period
for Buyer's to test for lead paint. Buyers take full
responsibility for compliance with all laws relating to lead
paint (and in particular Mass. General Law Chap.111, Sec
197).
|
General inspection, lead paint, &
termite/beetle are the main types of inspections and are all optional*. Sometimes one company
can handle
all 3. Inspection prices vary by company.
Also, if you are planning to hire an attorney,
now would be the time to do so.
After the home inspection, the next step is for the buyer and
seller
to give their "ok" to the final agreement which
is known as the
purchase & sales agreement. |
