make shure there is no leaks, like leaky taps...or mold...because these are signs of a bigger broblem

ooh, also check and see if its a quiet street, its not fun to live on a busy street, or across from a school. I have and getting woken up at 8 am on your day off is so not fun. stupid alarm bells.

Make sure there are no cracks in the walls...or even the foundation if needed...this could also be a sign of a larger issue.
