Should I get a lead inspection?
Hello,
I am in the process of purchasing a condo in New Hampshire as an investment. It was built in 1973. I have been asked to sign a lead warning statement where I can choose to waive my rights to an inspection or have an inspection completed within 10 days. The seller has no knowledge of lead in the home. Additionally, the condo was recently renovated from top to bottom. How concerned should I be about lead risk? Should I get a lead inspection done? If the inspection result indicates there is lead in the property, what are the next steps?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!
