Buying a new house seems to be different here in the US to buying back home in England, such as things like a lot of stuff is included in the sale here - fridge, light fixtures, carpets etc. When we go to buy our house we dont want them to include all that stuff as it puts the price of the house up (and Id much to prefer to choose my own options and get at a cheaper price).... so are we able to tell the homebuilders we just want the basic house without all these "extras" ? Surely that will bring the price down some!

Ive also noticed that the taxes is included in the mortgage payment (unlike England), which we dont particularly want to do because then arent you paying interest on top of your taxes aswell if they include it in your mortgage loan?!

So I was wondering, what other things are there to look out for now that we're looking for a house here. I knew exactly what I was doing in England when it came to buying property but dont have a clue for here.

Anyone else from UK whos been in a simliar situation and noticed any differences ? :huh:
