What to check when you visit a new home before buying

Seeing a home in person is the most important step before buying. We invite you to visit our homes in a gated community with a security booth; book an appointment and one of our advisors will show you around. To make the most of your visit, here is the checklist we recommend.

Checklist for your visit

• Walls and slabs: no cracks or damp stains.

• Doors and windows: they open, close and seal properly.

• Plumbing and electrical: turn on faucets, test water pressure, check outlets and switches.

• Carpentry: sturdy drawers, hinges and slides in the kitchen and closets.

• Natural light and ventilation in every bedroom.

• Slopes on the patio and roof so rainwater drains properly.

Questions to ask

• What building system was used?

• What warranty does it have and who backs it?

• How much are the community's HOA fees?

• What payment methods and mortgages are accepted?

Come and meet us

We like our clients to see the work and ask every question. A well-built home has nothing to hide.

One team, start to finish

At Balaya y Asociados we combine design, construction and in-house carpentry: kitchens, closets and doors are made by Cocinas Balaya, our workshop in Querétaro (www.cocinasbalaya.com). We build with Novaceramic multi-perforated clay brick and, to date, none of our homes has had a structural failure.
