A bit of advice from a lesson we learned the hard way - be sure to pay to have the house inspected before settlement. We bought a turn-key house built in 2005; it looked like it was in great shape and came with a warranty so we didn't bother with the inspection. Turns out the appliances were MUCH older than the house. We've already replaced the refrigerator and the dishwasher is on it's last legs. We've also had trouble with the clothes washer, although I think it will last awhile. It's very hard to get the warranty company to replace something, we learned, and it's $60 each time they send someone out. So don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish as we were - get that inspection done by an professional.
