If you have AC be sure to pour vinegar down the water run off pipe. You can use bleach, as it is better at cleaning, but will damage the outside grass.
Make sure water does not run up to the foundation of your house. The ground should ensure the water drains away.
Be careful of some trees, their powerful roots can damage your house / sidewalk / driveway.
Be aware of carpenter bees they will damage your house as bad as termites or carpenter ants.
If you have septic tank, there are a bunch of things you need to understand.
If it freezes be sure to cover outside faucets.
In the US your property taxes can change each year. Assuming you have a mortgage, prepare for the monthly payment to change. Sometimes up, sometimes down.
- 2rsf 3y agoGood ones! Keeping water away from the house is the most common answer to "I have water problems", level the ground away, pull rain gutter away, and if you have the chance (a new house for example) make sure drainage along the foundations is built correctly. Here is Sweden we have freeze safe faucets, otherwise it is not enough to cover them you need to empty the water from the lone leading to them (Source- I skipped that and a pipe burst)
