Condo inspections are very similar to standard home inspections, and are an affordable and convenient way to ensure the value of your investment. People feel that a condo inspection is important for new constructions only, this is untrue, and they are just as important in an old development or building. A typical condo inspection requires up to two hours to complete, and should cost about the same as a complete home inspection, but should include a look at the whole building when possible.
At a minimum, it is a good idea to get a punch list of required maintenance items, so you can weigh your cost of getting the place in order before you move in. Usually reports are provided, and while, the report is only one aspect of an inspection you can tell a lot about how thorough an inspector is by the quality of the reports. Failure to have a condo inspection can end up costing thousands of dollars in fees to cover the cost of repairs, and can also prevent the findings of some very serious concerns. When buying a new condo, get a condo inspection first, before jumping into a decision. A report can go a long way to help you in doing this. During the past decade, more than 2,000 apartments have been converted into condominiums. With this evident increase in the number of builders offering condominiums, the real estate market has started to inflate. With this growth of the real estate market, condo inspections are becoming even more important.
During the process of buying your condo, a disclosure is given, describing certain repairs or problems. While the disclosure does cover some problems that may not be recognizable by a visual condo inspection, the inspector will disclose a great deal more. Think about what would happen if you had no disclosure or an incomplete disclosure, that did not reveal a leaking foundation; which is a very common problem, and you did not hire an independent inspector. The simple solution is to have an inspection completed by a qualified, thorough condo inspector that will keep your best interest in mind and has no self interest other than your fee, the desire to do a good job, and your future reference.
Just one of the reasons that you should choose a licensed, professional condo inspector, is to evaluate the structure, electrical, and/or mechanical systems of a condo prior to purchase. Often beginning with the condo's exterior, the inspection will then head to the inside of the condo, usually electrical and plumbing inspections will also be performed. The inspector will analyze the condition of walls, floors, ceilings, and windows, look for minor repair work that needs to be done as well as major structural defects, and is someone who has working knowledge of the basic components and systems of a home. An inspector might spot a problem with the draining system, but he/she won't dismantle it. Condo inspections are "floor to ceiling" and don't go beyond what the inspector can see inside the unit itself. They do not have a duty to remove or dismantle any components to discover the information.
With this growth of the real estate market, condo inspections are becoming even more important. Condo inspections are an affordable and convenient way to ensure the value of your investment. Typically people feel that a condo inspection is important for new constructions only, this is untrue, and condo inspections are just as important in an old development or building.
