Very simply, if you plan on expanding the home you are buying, you need to know if you can before it is too late. Most people expand their families assuming they can also expand their home to accommodate a growing family. You don’t want to find out you can not expand due to zoning regulations when you are ready to start a family and need more space.
Understanding a properties potential ( or lack of potential ) allows you to make an informed decision and allows you to place more or “ less” VALUE to a particular property.
