Sometimes I really want to forget about work and problems and just relax! But is it possible to relax fully in the four walls of the apartment? Of course not! The house outside the city is best for this purpose.
Beautiful landscapes, pure transparent air – one of the few advantages of a country house. Here you can also get your own plot of land for planting vegetables and fruits.
To date, the summer construction market is developing quickly enough due to the growth of demand for country houses. Therefore, the choice is quite large. If you have a considerable amount of funds, you can build a house on your own project and design. But what to do if there is little money, and your dream is a country house? It doesn’t matter. There is an opportunity to purchase a house older than ten years. Of course, it will also have to be invested in it, but it will still be much cheaper than building a house from scratch.
If you, nevertheless, decided to purchase an already built house, be sure to conduct its full inspection. Particular attention should be paid to the foundation and condition of the floor boards. Assess the condition of the corner joints of the embedded logs and the places over which the windows are located. These areas are most often damaged. The ceiling should be without deflections, and the walls are even. If the house has a heating system, pay your attention to pipes (welding seams). In order to verify the strength of the floor, walk around the house. The floor boards should not bend and the draft should not be felt. This will be the first evidence that the floor is performed qualitatively.
After examining your future cottage from the inside, ask the owner how much the foundation is buried than the walls are insulated. You should also look carefully at the house from the side. It should not be skewed, and window frames should be even.
After weighing all the pros and cons, decide on the purchase of a given house. Successful purchase!
