  • HOA or condo fees, reserves and any special assessments.
  • Utility costs and heating fuel.

Property

  • Inspection, radon, termites and oil-tank sweep.
  • Open or missing permits for finished basements, decks and additions.
  • Flood disclosure and FEMA map.
  • Survey and boundaries.

  • Commute at rush hour.
  • Nearby development plans at the planning board.
