Older homes may have outdated insulation, inefficient construction, and require modern efficiency upgrades.
Electrical panels often provide only 100 amps, insufficient for modern devices and car chargers.
Flat roofs, especially tar-and-gravel types, are outdated and may need replacement.
Large tree roots can damage plumbing, creating backups and long-term maintenance issues.
Buyers should budget for updates and inspections to ensure safe, functional older homes.
