By

Publisher: Scribner

A basic book will serve as both a guide and a gauge to any house, or partment, hunter, whether he is anxious to buy an old one and remodel it, or build. Throughout the author enables the reader to apply the comparison shopping method, to evaluate both the determinants and deterrents and to consider his purchase in terms of his family's needs. From the choice of the neighborhood to the house itself the rooms and their work and closet space; appliances; bathrooms; heating and insulation; water and water pressure; all these specifics precede sections on estimating costs, securing mortgages or loans and various other financial factors.... The book affords practical considerations and criteria for the inexperienced.
