    Typical timeline: 60 days

    Step-by-Step

    1. 1

      Confirm the floor plan and exposure that fits you

      Radnor House offers studio, 1-bed, and 2-bed layouts across multiple floors. South- and west-facing units get the best afternoon light; lower floors trade view for easier elevator access. Tour at least three units to calibrate.

    2. 2

      Get pre-approved with a PA condo-experienced lender

      Condo financing requires a project review (warrantable vs. non-warrantable, owner-occupancy ratio, HOA litigation, master insurance). Use a Main Line lender who has closed at Radnor House before — a national online lender often stalls on the project questionnaire.

    3. 3

      Review the HOA resale certificate, budget, and reserve study

      Pennsylvania law gives the HOA 10 business days to deliver the resale certificate. Read the operating budget, reserve study, recent meeting minutes, and any pending special assessments. Healthy reserves are the single biggest predictor of stable HOA dues at Radnor House.

    4. 4

      Confirm what the HOA fee covers

      Radnor House HOA dues typically include water, sewer, trash, common-area maintenance, exterior insurance, elevator, and on-site staff. Electric, internet, and contents insurance are owner-paid. Get the current fee schedule in writing before you offer.

    5. 5

      Verify pet, rental, and parking policies

      Confirm pet weight limits, rental-cap percentages (matters if you ever plan to lease), guest parking rules, and assigned-space deeded vs. licensed. These rules shape resale value and lender approval.

    6. 6

      Verify Radnor Township School District feeders if buying for school value

      Radnor House sits inside Radnor Township SD — one of the top-rated districts in Pennsylvania. Confirm the exact elementary feeder (Wayne, Ithan, or Radnor Elementary) with the district before you offer.

    7. 7

      Submit a clean offer with a condo-docs review contingency

      Lead with price, a 7–10 day condo-document review contingency, a standard 10-day inspection contingency, and a 30–45 day close. Strong Radnor House listings can move in days; pre-approval, proof of funds, and a flexible closing date win.

    8. 8

      Close with a Main Line title company

      Local title companies handle Radnor Township and Delaware County transfer taxes faster than out-of-area firms. Budget 2–3% of purchase price for total closing costs, plus the first month's HOA dues at settlement.

    Common Pitfalls to Avoid

    • Skipping the reserve study (a future special assessment can erase years of appreciation)
    • Using a national online lender that hasn't reviewed Radnor House as a project (delays closing)
    • Missing the rental-cap percentage if you ever plan to lease the unit
    • Assuming all HOA fees include the same services — get the line-item breakdown in writing
