Healthy Home Buyer's and Renter's Guide

What it is: A step-by-step guide to checking a home before you buy or rent it, from your desk and at the inspection.

What's inside:

• How to check for mobile phone towers and power lines nearby

• Flooding, drainage and pesticide checks

• What to look for in the listing photos

• What to look at, smell and ask at the inspection

• Main roads, air quality, flight paths, water supply, contaminated land and methamphetamine checks

Who it's for: Anyone shortlisting homes to buy or rent. It helps you rule out homes with problems you're not prepared to live with, before you pay for inspections.

Want a second opinion? Book a 30-minute phone consultation ($120) to go over a home you're considering. Send us the address and listing beforehand, and we'll talk through what to check before you inspect, rent or buy.

Before you commit, do some preliminary EMF testing. Hire meters for a week and take them to your inspections, or ask the agent for a private inspection. The Healthy Home EMF Check shows you how.
