Manhattan Home Inspections - Not For The Inexperienced

InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector

 

 

There are all kinds of different properties within Manhattan. Some of the structures are new and some of them are old. However, it doesn't matter their age when it comes to needing a home inspection in Manhattan. Even the most beautiful and fit of homes needs to have an inspection when being purchased. There could be underlying plumbing, electrical, or heating issues that cannot be seen by the average person. Only a skilled home inspector can see certain problems within a home. That is why many real estate contracts require that an inspector is hired to inspect the home before the purchase ever goes through.

 



Why An Independent Home Inspection?



When we speak of Manhattan real estate, we associate it with high dollar properties. It is true that some of these properties are quite expensive. There are structures that once housed immigrants who were struggling financially. Now some of the same structures cost upwards of $10,000,000 to buy. Many of these pre-war properties even have landmark status. Regardless, both younger and older homes and buildings simply may have some underlying or unknown issues worth looking out for. Chances are, the person selling the property had an inspection when they bought it as well.  It's just become the norm and a worthwhile investment so long as you are dealing with a reputable Manhattan home inspection company

The reason why you want to hire an independent home inspector in Manhattan is because the evaluation will be unbiased. In most cases, inspectors will not intentionally alter the inspection outcome to make a transaction move forward. The better agents would never expect such a thing, though it is still in your best interests to hire an independent third party. With such high price tags, it is very important to make sure your investment is the best investment. Even on homes without such a price tag, any investment in Manhattan real estate is still a very important and expensive one, so it is good to cover all angles.

Olympian Home Services - Inspections Cover Issues Such As:

 

Electrical problems can be evaluated and brought to your attention. Electrical problems are very dangerous because they are often fire hazards. Our inspector will inform you of the problem, tell you it needs to be repaired. He may also suggest to you, methods of repair that may be available or even advisable.
• Water damage can be assessed and addressed if present. Water damage can result in moist conditions that promote the growth of mold and mildew, which can be or become a health hazard.
• Plumbing leaks that can lead to water damage can be brought to your attention. Floors, walls and ceilings can be weakened by leaks and promote mold and mildew growth in places you cannot see. Leaks also result in higher water bills and property damage.
• Ventilation problems that impact the quality of your air can be pointed out. Air quality is important for you and your family to stay healthy.
• Structural cracks that can compromise the stability of the structure can be identified and addressed.
• Heating and air conditioning problems that can be dangerous or lead to costly repairs can be identified.

 

There are countless other issues that a Manhattan home inspector from Olympian Home Services can bring to your attention, including problems with cracked sidewalks and other safety issues. Problems with the roof of the home... and the list is endless. This meticulous examination allows you, the buyer, to know the particular parcel inside and out... the good, the bad and the ugly, but definitely better safe than sorry. In the less common cases that you don’t go through with the purchase, you can always look for another Manhattan home that better meets your expectations and has fewer or no problems.

Manhattan Home Inspector - A Must Have For Every Manhattan Home

 

Manhattan is home to the rich and famous, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, the United Nations, and almost two million people, many of whom are homeowner's and buyer's like yourself. Considered one of the richest places in the United States, almost everyone who lives here has a yearly income that is at least six figures, and usually more. Many of the homes in Manhattan are upscale, and many are quite large and elaborate. Even though our area is one of the most desired to call home, this does not mean you should skip a Manhattan home inspection just because the home you are purchasing is expensive.... in fact that gives more reason to have it thoroughly inspected.  A Manhattan home inspector from Olympian Home Services has the experience needed and the knowledge required to inspect homes that are extremely large and may contain new technology that is not present in lower cost more average homes. No matter which area of Manhattan your potential home is located in, not having a Manhattan home inspector do a complete and in depth inspection of the home can end up costing you later on if there are any problems or defects that are not noticed or apparent. Just because the home you are looking at costs a million dollars or more, does not mean that every part and component of the home is perfect and free of maintenance or repair issues. To ensure the condition of your new home is tip top, make an appointment with a certified Manhattan home inspector from Olympian Home Services today!

Our Manhattan home inspectors are familiar and comfortable with these expensive Manhattan homes, and they are up to date on all the latest technology that may be used in the different systems and structures, like energy efficient boilers and other newer options like tankless water heaters. Newer inexperienced home inspectors may not examine higher end homes on a regular basis, and this can lead to things being overlooked due to the inspector’s lack of experience in this area. This will never happen with a Manhattan inspector from Olympian Home Services. Homes on an island and those exposed to elements like extreme ocean winds and salt spray may face unique challenges not found in other areas. Olympian’s Manhattan home inspectors are knowledgeable and experienced with these regional factors, and can recognize small signs of problems that may be missed by other less experienced inspectors.

Buying a home in Manhattan may be a dream come true for you, but if you do not have a professional home inspection conducted by an experienced Manhattan home inspector, you may end up living a nightmare instead of happily ever after. Nothing is worse than paying an exorbitant sum for a home and then finding out that there are numerous repairs needed and costly problems to be corrected. Whether you are paying one hundred thousand dollars or ten million dollars for your home, a home inspection should be considered a necessity before the deal is closed. The entire process only takes a few hours, depending on the home and circumstances, and within a few days you will get a complete report identifying any significant problems that were found by your inspector. Buying a home without knowing all the facts is like buying a car without ever seeing it, and the cost of a home is much much more... especially in good old Manhattan. Not hiring a skilled Manhattan home inspector, does not make good sense.

Manhattan can be a fabulous place to call home, and homes for sale here may even undergo bidding wars between buyers. Even so, do not be pressured into buying a home without a professional quality home inspection, no matter how many other offers there may be, or how much the seller resists the idea. If the home has a large number of problems, or it needs expensive renovations, you may need to think long and hard about whether the home is worth the total investment.

If you are thinking about purchasing a home in Manhattan, contact a Manhattan home inspector at Olympian Home Services to set up an appointment for a thorough and complete professional home inspection. This will allow you to make an informed decision once you have all the facts. Even if the home inspection reveals some problems or maintenance issues, you may still want the home, but at least you are well aware of what you are up against. With a quality
home inspection, you will be able to make the right purchase decision, instead of flipping a coin.
