New York Residential Purchase of Houses and Townhouses

Residential property can include condominiums, apartment complexes, single family homes, mobile homes, houseboats, townhouses and multi-family dwellings. House and townhouses are some of the most common forms of residential properties on the housing market today. Houses usually have three bedrooms and a basement and cost quite a bit more than a townhouse. A townhouse could also contain three bedrooms and a basement but they cost considerably less than a house because they are not as large as a traditional house. Townhouses are the perfect first house for a newlywed couple looking to not spend that much money on their first residence together. When purchasing a residential property such as a house or a townhouse the buyer should always consult their attorney prior to making the purchase to make sure that the contract they are signing is not in violation of any laws or other housing codes.

Townhouses are particularly popular in large cities such as Philadelphia, New York, Boston and San Francisco. Townhouses are more popular in large cities because they take up less space since they are all connected in a row. Individual houses are not connected and they have a certain amount of space in between two houses, taking up too much space on a block. There are two forms of townhouses; condominium townhouses and freehold townhouses. Condominium townhouses are not owned exclusively by the tenant, they only own their unit they live within. The entire building is owned by another person or a corporation. A freehold townhouse is owned exclusively by the people that live in it. An attorney can help anyone purchasing a house or townhouse with one or more of the following:

• Accuracy and completeness of the seller's disclosures
• Land use or zoning code violations and citations
• Unpaid property tax liabilities
• Unpaid fines for everything from litter to landscaping ordinance violations
• Defects in title
• Unsatisfied tax liens or judgment liens
• Building code problems, inspections, and repairs
• Problems with boundaries, access, or easements

When purchasing a house or a townhouse one should always test the market before determining which property to purchase. Always browse the market, especially with the attorney, who will not pressure the buyer into purchasing any one house or townhouse because they are not trying to make a sale.
