What should buyers check on a Wedgewood Creek home?
Homes from the 1980s and early 1990s are at the age where roofs, windows, furnaces and air conditioners may need replacing if they haven't been done. Ask for receipts and budget for what remains. Check the basement for any signs of past water, look for a sump pump and backwater valve, and confirm whether the water heater is rented. For the Glenada Crescent complex, read the reserve fund study and the status certificate before firming up.
