2. Plat survey: size of lot, topography and landscape, easements.
3. Deed. (Is the title clear? Are there any deed covenants that would limit use or resale opportunities?)
4. List of improvements, especially to kitchen and bathrooms. (Do you have permits, if required, for the alterations?)
5. Homeowner warranties.
6. Value and condition of neighborhood houses.
7. Zoning of, and plans for, any nearby vacant land.
8. Age of neighborhood.
9. Ease of access to work, schools, shopping and recreation.
10. Adequacy and cost of utilities.
11. Adverse influences (such as proximity to highways, high tension wires, commercial areas).
12. Present and proposed assessments.
