A Home Inspection checklist for Buyers
Having an offer accepted on your home may seem like cause for celebration. This isn’t about peeling paint, which will be both obvious and pretty easy to fix, but about big ticket items that can affect the livability of the property. Here are 13 things that warrant extra attention during your home inspection.
❏ Oil tank
❏ HVAC system
❏ Roof
❏ Structural integrity of the chimney
❏ Water drainage and disbursement
❏ Electricity system
❏ Foundation
❏ Quality of the flooring
❏ Noxious gases
❏ Asbestos
❏ Exhaust fans
❏ Paint
❏ Waste systems
You can hire an inspector to look over the unit you are thinking of buying and the building’s superintendent or management agent should be able to give the inspector access to the roof, basement, and other shared spaces that may require future repairs.
During the inspection you want to check that all of the appliances, electric outlets, and circuit breakers are working.
You should also do a walk-through the day of the closing. “Make sure everything is still in order, that the apartment upstairs didn’t have a big leak the night before your closing,” says Kee.
Inspections for condos and co-ops
Home inspections aren’t just for houses: you should consider one for an apartment purchase too. Buying a unit in a larger multiple-dwelling structure, such as a high-rise apartment building, means you’ll need to look for things you wouldn’t have to if you bought yourself a single-family house.
It's your problem to fix, I can help you figure the plan out.
