Beyond the house itself, what should I look for in Renton Real Estate property?

Looking at Real Estate in Renton can be fun.
Once you've found the right home, take a good look at the land it's built on before you buy. Check for:

Easements: Whose are they and where are they located? Will you be able to build a garage, shed, fence or other improvements while avoiding the easement areas?

Flood: plain Is part of the lot marked for flooding areas? How often and for how long is the area under water? Has the house ever been flooded or threatened by high water?



Boundaries: Where are the true lot lines? Is the fence properly placed within the lot? Will there be room to build a deck or addition to the house later on?
Utility cables: Where are they located? Will it be possible to add phone lines or upgrade electrical capacity later? Hydrant How close is the nearest fire hydrant? This, and the proximity of the fire station, are often important when purchasing homeowner's insurance.
