Nothing is worse than thinking you have sold and closed a home, and then have a legal
matter interfere with your plans to move forward. To prevent this, we are asking you to
review some of the top reasons law suits can occur with regard to real estate transactions.
1. Aluminum Wiring. May be found in some homes from the mid 1960’s to the
early 1970’s and is a potential fire hazard. Problems due to expansion can cause
overheating at connections between the wire and devices (switches & outlets) or
at splices. For more information, go to http://inspect-ny.com/aluminum.htm. Do
you know of any Aluminum Wiring in your home? ________________________
