Hire
a Home Inspector
An experienced property inspector is invaluable. Include a satisfactory
home inspection, conducted by the inspector of your choice, as a condition
of your offer. A knowledgeable inspector can determine whether there are
serious defects with the house that might cause you to reconsider your
offer.
Applying
for a Mortgage
Once your offer to purchase is accepted, make your formal application
for a mortgage. You will need to provide your lender with:
- Your financial information, including assets and liabilities, monthly expenses and employment earnings.*
- Evidence of your down payment and income.*
- Site and floor plans and specifications if the house is being built.
- The accepted offer and MLS listing if available.
- Your pre-arranged mortgage certificate if you pre-arranged your mortgage.
