Common Issues We Solve

What to ask before buying a Cottonwood house

Three checks that belong in due diligence.

Ask for a quote during the inspection period

Insurability is a condition of financing and it varies more than buyers expect. A property in the wildfire interface, with an old roof or a claims history, can be dramatically more expensive or difficult to insure. Finding that during the inspection period is useful. Finding it a week before closing is not.

The four dates decide most of it

Roof, electrical panel, plumbing and water heater. Every carrier asks, some decline on the answers, and a seller usually knows. Getting those four during the inspection is worth more than most of what a buyer worries about.

The claims history comes with the house

Carriers see claims made at the address, including under previous owners. Two water claims in five years affects what you will pay from day one. It is knowable before you commit rather than after.

FAQ

Homeowners questions from Cottonwood

When should I get an insurance quote on a house I am buying?
During the inspection period, not after. Insurability varies far more than buyers expect, and a wildfire-exposed property or one with an old roof can be expensive or difficult. Finding out while you still have an inspection contingency is the whole point of having one.
What should I ask the seller?
The ages of the roof, electrical panel, plumbing and water heater, and whether there have been any claims. Those four dates decide most of what a carrier charges, and the claims history follows the address to you whether you ask or not.
Can a house be uninsurable?
Rarely outright, and frequently expensive or limited to a narrower market, particularly with wildfire exposure or very old systems. That is a negotiating fact as much as an insurance one, and it is better known before you commit.
