What You Need To Know When Buying A 1970s Home

If you’re buying a 70s home, this is something you need to know.👈

Aluminum wiring⚡ is starting to be treated the same way knob and tube once was.

Not illegal.

Not always unsafe.

But increasingly disliked by insurers and lenders.

I’m already seeing:👀

• Extra insurance conditions

• Required electrical inspections

• Higher premiums

• Limited provider options

And the industry trend suggests that in the next 5–10 years, removal may become the expectation, not the exception.

This is exactly why due diligence matters before you fall in love with a house.🧐

Ask questions.

Get inspections.

Understand future costs, not just today’s price.🙂
