New-construction FAQ

Buying or building a new home in New Hampshire

Should a new home be inspected?

New construction can still contain incomplete, damaged, or incorrectly installed items. Inspection rights and timing should be addressed in the contract, and the scope should match the property and construction stage.

What is an allowance?

An allowance is a budgeted amount for a specified item or category. Confirm what is included, the selection process, markups, credits, overruns, deadlines, and what happens if the desired product is unavailable.

What costs may be outside the advertised home price?

Depending on the transaction, costs may include land, clearing, excavation, utilities, well, septic, driveway, drainage, landscaping, permits, design, engineering, financing, upgrades, change orders, and contingency reserves.
