Perhaps you are someone who has never considered a prefabricated home as an option before, if so, you are not the only one. Many people are put off by this type of house because they feel there is not enough choice when it comes to style, etc. However, prefabricated homes come in many styles that suit most budgets, so if you have had no success finding your ideal home on the property market, you may want to take a look at a prefab. Here are some things you will need to know when it comes to this kind of housing:
Before purchasing a prefabricated house, you will have some decisions to make, the most important one being where you will put the house. You have options here as well. You could find a piece of land for sale that you would like the home to go on, or you could lease some land that has been designed specifically for prefabricated housing. Alternatively, you could purchase the land and home together. With any of these options, though, you will need to do your research regarding zoning laws, utility connections, and any other laws and regulations pertaining to prefabricated housing. Keep in mind this will all vary depending on the location you choose to put the home so make sure your research is based on the area you will be living in.
It is also important to study the manufacturer’s warranty with a prefabricated home. The home will need to be transported to its location so make sure you are covered for the transportation as well as its installation. You should also be aware of any actions that could void the warranty.
Last but not least, when your new home is finally in its location, have a home inspection done on it to be sure it has been set up properly and working as it should.
