Prioritize inspections that reveal the true scope and risk of the work: structural integrity, roof condition, drainage, and the electrical/plumbing networks. Verify that there are valid permits and approvals for any planned renovations. Have a qualified professional review the existing plans and compare them with the proposed changes. Obtain a detailed contractor quotation and scope of work (room by room) plus a realistic budget with contingencies. Ask for current drawings or drafts showing the planned layout and any impact on utilities. If work is already underway, collect progress invoices, material receipts, photos and warranty history for major systems (roof, drainage, electrical, plumbing, structure). Consider hiring a building surveyor or structural engineer, an electrician and a plumber to produce independent assessments. Use these findings to test whether the asking price leaves room for the renovation without overpaying. If permits or rights to transfer are uncertain, factor that risk into your offer.
