What are things to look out for when buying an old house in New England?

Response:
The most important piece in buying an old New England home (100+ years old) is to make sure the foundation is in good condition. Field stones (if applicable) and support beams need to be checked to insure safety and stability for the years to come. Next, you'll want to make sure it is insulated and the HVAC system is in good condition. Along that, review what type of electricity the house had wired as some older homes may be using older setups that may be dangerous or hazardous.
