What We Look for in Bedford Homes

In Bedford’s older homes, we look closely at foundation and basement walls, water intrusion, aging electrical wiring and panels, original plumbing, and roof condition. Homes built before 1978 may also contain lead-based paint, which we can help you understand as part of your purchase.

After your inspection, you’ll receive an easy-to-read Spectora report the same day, with photos of every item we discussed, so you and your agent can move forward with confidence.
