The structure of your residence is sound and in a reliable state of repair.
The heating system in the property is operational.
Sanitary facilities, like toilets and sinks, are in working order
Drains and gutters are unblocked and functioning properly.
Your home is not afflicted by dampness or mold growth.
There is consistent and safe access to electricity, gas, and running water.
The home is free from infestations of vermin or insects.
