.   Plumbing,
.   Lighting fixtures,
.   Enough electrical outlets to meet building codes and power planned additional appliances,
.   Moisture damaged parts,
.   Sufficient hot water supply,
.   Molds and mildew,
.   Adequate storage and counter space, and
.   An outdated floor plan that does not serve the existing needs of the household.
