The
last
thing
you
want
when
you
assume
possession
of
your
new
home
is
to
find
it
in
a
total
mess.
Therefore,
you
should
make
it
clear
in
your
offer
that
certain
minimum
standards
are
required.
If
you
do
not,
you
might
find
out
the
seller
or
neighbors
have
begun
using
the
back
yard
as
a
trash
dump,
or
something
worse
–
and
you
would
not
be
able
to
do
anything
about
it.
Some
of
the
requirements
you
might
want
to
include
in
your
offer
are
that
the
roof
does
not
leak,
the
appliances
work,
the
plumbing
does
not
leak,
that
there
are
no
broken
or
cracked
windows,
the
yard
has
been
kept
up,
and
any
debris
has
been
cleared
away. |
