There are certain things that the buyer should check before making an offer on the house. Remember that your offer shouldn't be based on emotions only. Try to be as realistic as possible. Examine the house carefully and not only the exterior but the interior of it as well.

One of the things you should consider about the exterior of the home before you make an offer is probably the view. Views, beautiful as they may be, are often seductive and can influence the buyer to overlook serious, costly problems a potential home may have. Furthermore, a buyer should beware of overvaluing the view. A beautiful view today may just be a view of your neighbor's bathroom in a year. Be sure to investigate local legal regulations regarding new construction in the area, the height to which homes can be built, the restrictions you may have in altering the view as a homeowner and whether pre-existing homes can add second or third floors.

When buying a house you may think of some landscaping and improvement ideas so in order no to be disappointed check whether you will be allowed to make the changes that suit your tastes. Before you rush off to make an offer on a property, make absolutely sure you understand what you can and cannot change about the property. Many houses these days are built within developments and that means rules and regulations by the score that govern exterior changes.

If there are vacant lots of land around a property you'd better find out what the future plans for those lots is, they are zoned only for residential use or commercial zoning is available.

If vacant lots of land are approved for commercial use, ask yourself whether you are ready to live next to a business area.
