Sight along foundation and wall lines. Watch for stair-step or horizontal cracks, doors and windows out of square, sloping floors, separated additions, moisture, damaged piers, beams, joists, or evidence of termites and rot.

Estimate age and remaining life. Look for sagging, missing or curling shingles, patched areas, failed flashing, damaged penetrations, clogged gutters, active attic staining, soft decking, and poor ventilation.

Note service amperage and panel condition. Look for exposed or damaged wiring, double-tapped breakers, missing covers, burned areas, outdated wiring, missing GFCI protection, overloaded circuits, and obvious amateur additions.

Run several fixtures when utilities are available. Check pressure, drain speed, leaks, water-heater condition, supply and drain materials, toilet movement, sewer odors, backups, and septic or main-line warning signs.

Record equipment age and model. Test heating and cooling when safe, listen for unusual noise, check airflow, rust, condensate drainage, damaged ducts, fuel connections, venting, and signs of neglected maintenance.

Walk the full perimeter. Check siding and trim damage, window and door condition, grading toward the house, downspout discharge, standing water, decks, steps, retaining walls, trees, fences, driveway damage, and drainage paths.

Look up, down, and along wall lines. Watch for water stains, musty odors, soft floors, cracks, sticking doors, damaged windows, visible mold or pests, unsafe stairs or rails, and the amount of cosmetic work required.

Operate fixtures and inspect inside cabinets. Check for water damage, loose toilets, failed caulk or grout, damaged cabinets and counters, appliance condition, ventilation, laundry hookups, and drain or supply leaks.

Check the garage door and opener, slab movement, wall and ceiling damage, electrical safety, fire separation, outbuilding condition, fences and gates, driveway and walkway hazards, cleanup needs, and items included with the property.
