Proper Homes reads the town records, permits and inspection report for any Connecticut home and turns them into one plain-English property file. It shows what needs attention, what it will really cost each month, and what to ask the seller. After closing, the same file runs your home.
Pulled from the town clerk, assessor and building department, then checked against the listing.
We read a 46-page inspection report and kept what matters, sorted by urgency and priced.
The real monthly cost of this house, not just the mortgage. Example uses 10% down at a 6.5% rate.
After closing, the same file becomes your home's calendar, bills and savings plan.
Most buying tools stop at the closing table. Your property file keeps going, so everything learned while buying the house is still there when you own it.
Towns, each with its own clerk, assessor and building department. The records that matter most are spread across 169 separate offices. We gather them town by town so you don't have to.
We flag homes in the north-central and eastern towns where pyrrhotite in concrete is a known risk, and tell you what testing to ask for.
Buried and basement tanks are common in older homes. We check permits and disclosures and tell you what to verify before closing.
Private water and septic systems need their own tests. We list which tests apply to this house and what each one costs.
Your tax depends on your town's mill rate and its five-year revaluation cycle. We estimate both, so a tax increase doesn't surprise you.
From Greenwich to Stonington, we read the current FEMA maps and estimate what flood insurance would add to your monthly cost.
Knob-and-tube wiring, outdated electrical panels, lead paint and old windows. We tell you what's normal for the era and what isn't.
Proper Homes is built alongside a working Connecticut remodeling company. Repair estimates use local labor and material prices, not national averages pulled from a website.

The same engine handles automated due diligence for small investors and independent property managers. It underwrites a deal from an address, reviews leases and rent rolls, and watches your portfolio for tax and permit changes.
No. You should still hire a licensed home inspector. Proper Homes reads the inspector's report alongside the town records, explains what it means, and prices the repairs so you can decide what to do next.
No. Connecticut closings involve an attorney, and your lender sets your loan terms. Proper Homes gives you organized, sourced information so you ask your attorney, agent and lender better questions.
