There is one thing you may at least try to protect yourself when purchasing a home here in VA. As part of the contract, insert an addendum that the seller certifies that the structure itself, and all mechanical systems, including HVAC, electrical and plumbing, all meet the Uniform Building Code as of the date of the contract. On the same addendum, also add that the seller certifies that all modifications and/or additions to the structure were all done in compliance with local permitting requirements. If you could get them to sign off on this (which their realtor will discourage), you can get around the disclosure/disclaimer statements which are merely designed to relieve the seller and realtor of any responsibility.

If the rest of the state fell off of the map, Northern Virginians’ state taxes would go way down.

While I love the amazing state of Northern VA, The rest of the state could fall off the map and I would not notice…

As a Virginia resident, I must inform your readers that if you buy a residence in Virginia, you have to live in Virginia, and that in itself is a form of BDSM. The really annoying part is that you have to cross the state line to get here, and it is a little known fact that Virginia has its own time zone. It’s tedious, but you have to set your watch back 400 years. Forewarned is forearmed! And that makes it hard to buy shirts, too.
