Inspecting your new South Florida condo before making an offer

There are many things to consider when buying a South Florida home but even more when deciding on a condo.

South Florida condos offer numerous amenities and there are many to choose from.

Here are important things to look out for before making an offer:

Does the condo face many hours of sun that will interfere with your energy efficiency and skyrocket your FPL bill?

Listen for noises. One way to check noise levels is visiting the condo at different times of the day both weekdays and weekends.

Check out your privacy levels; do you have large windows or a balcony that faces the street. Can you see into the unit from outside?

Is the parking lot well lit? Are there plenty of parking spaces? This has become a major issue at many complexes, it may not seem important now, but it certainly will when you’re home from work after a long day.

Another important thing to look for in hurricane prone Florida is a backup generator to power up your building in the case of a power outage.
