Old Homes: Four Questions To Ask When Buying An Old House
There are quite a number of reasons why buyers prefer an old house.
There’s the factor of location as majority of the prime spots no longer allow
new constructions around the area thereby leaving homebuyers to bid for
something that’s already built around the place. Then there’s the size aspect
that promises bigger square footages. The distinct appearance and unique
features are big attractions too. Not to mention the profitability element
where after fixing the necessities and emphasizing the charming attributes, it
can be worth more than what it is today which makes it highly profitable for
future resale purposes.
What To Ask When Buying An Old House
Purchasing such Philippine real estate property requires careful consideration though. Here are some of the basic
questions you should ask if you’re interested to acquire one.
1.
How old is the structure? Determine
the exact year when the structure was originally built. Doing so will give you
an idea on how stable and solid the foundation is. There are some homes that
have cracks on the walls, damages on the floor, crumbling bricks, mold in
certain places or termites in some rooms which make it very hazardous to live
in. Take time to do research and consult either someone who has an experience
in architectural history or a professional inspector who is knowledgeable on
these types of residences.
2.
What is the condition of the current systems? This pertains to heating, plumbing, and electrical systems.
How is it heated and air-conditioned? Identify if they are outdated and in need
of replacement. Find out what type of plumbing materials were used so you’ll be
well-aware if they are likewise ready for retirement. Are the electrical
components and wiring system compatible with modern appliances? Make sure that
it will not be a cause for fire hazards later on.
3.
When was the last inspection done? It is important to know the date when the residence was last
inspected by a pro. Read the latest report and use it to weigh the pros and
cons before making a final decision. If it has been years since an inspector
checked the entire building out, contract someone who can do a thorough analysis
and can give you detailed estimates for repairs.
4.
How much will it cost to restore? It all boils down to costing and expenses. Do not let
yourself be carried away with the ancestral home’s charm and craftsmanship
without taking the money part into consideration. For all you know, it is
recommendable to buy a brand new house and lot in Bacolod for example, rather than to
opt for something that will cost you a fortune.

Old Homes: Seven Reasons Why People Buy An Old House
For some
buyers, an old home is a dream purchase of the lifetime. It has been there for
decades and has gone through different climate changes and calamities which
further authenticate its unique quality and true appeal.
Why Buy An Old House
Find out
what attracts people to buy such houses. Let this guide you through when making
a homebuying decision regarding old homes.
1. Location. Location
has always been a prime factor in homebuying. And there are instances when most
of the sought-after locations no longer allow new constructions around the
area. Your only choice is to build one a few kilometers away, which is a bit
far from the local shops, schools, coffeehouses, stores and other amenities and
conveniences.
2. Size. More
often than not, these residential types come with bigger land areas and square
footages. This translates to larger yards which then give you an opportunity to
own wider and luxurious space for garage or outdoor shed. Likewise, there are several
rooms too instead of the usual two to three-bedroom units found on the usual Philippine real estate modern houses.
3. Cost. Generally
speaking, it will cost you less to purchase older properties compared to a
brand new house and lot in Nuvali of the same size, for example. Prices
are easier to negotiate too.
4. Appearance and features. It’s all about character and personality and older homes
certainly have them. They look better with their interiors and exteriors, with
features ranging from built-in fireplace, beautiful garden, mature landscapes
with age-old trees, impeccable craftsmanship and architectural elements like
arches and special window treatments which are already considered as “upgrades”
in modern properties. They exude charm and mystery with its historic background
and the generation of families that lived in it.
5. Neighborhood. Another benefit is its established neighborhood. Many neighbors know
each other already hence the community is much stronger compared to the ones in
newer settings.
6. Availability. Unless there are immediate renovation and remodeling that need to be
done, you can easily move in anytime you want. You need not wait for weeks,
months or years just to reside on your desired home.
7. Profitability. For those who are looking for long-term investments, you can quickly
turn this project into something profitable. After fixing the necessities and highlighting its unique
attributes, you can consequently boost its value should you want to do a resale
in the future.
