Do Not Reduce the Decision to “Good House” or “Bad House”
A foundation concern is a condition that needs to be understood. Some repairs can be scoped and addressed; other situations may be more complex. The useful questions are what is happening, whether movement is active, what repair is recommended, and what information supports that recommendation.
Documents and Questions to Gather
Ask for prior repair proposals, invoices, warranties if any exist, engineering documents if any were prepared, seller disclosures, and information about previous structural work. Have your own qualified professionals review the property rather than relying only on a summary from someone involved in the transaction.
Consider Independent Advice
Depending on the situation, a buyer may want a foundation contractor, structural engineer, home inspector, or other professional. Contract deadlines and inspection contingencies can matter, so coordinate technical advice with the professionals handling your transaction.
