Lake Charles LA Home Inspectors are just as busy as Lake Charles LA Realtors. When a Lake Charles Home Buyer enters into a Purchase Agreement the Buyer is allowed to conduct a home inspection within a certain length of time You don't want to wait to the last day for your Lake Charles LA Home Inspection.
A real estate home inspection is when a licensed qualified home inspector takes a look around the property you are considering purchasing and informs you of obvious and potential damage or problems with the property. Louisiana requires that all inspectors be licensed by the Louisiana State Board of Home Inspectors.
Working with a home inspector is an essential part to buying a home. It helps to determine the quality of the house and working components. The job of the home inspector is to find anything that might be a larger problem in the house before you move in. Once the Home Inspector completes their analysis of the property, the Lake Charles Home Buyer and REALTOR can meet with the home inspector to go over any items that need attention. Most of the Lake Charles LA home inspectors create a report they can share which includes photos and video of the property.
If there is something that the home inspector finds wrong with the home, it will be listed in the inspector's report and your Realtor will prepare an Inspection Form where Buyer may ask for Seller to correct any deficiencies noted.
Home inspections often shed light on items or repairs that may not be visible. Knowledge is very important and can mean the difference between taking on a project or thousands of dollars in repairs and/or professional help. Buyers want to know ahead of time what works and does not work in the house before proceeding further with the sale.
This is a snapshot of sheetrock above a shower that once inspected, the sheetrock was found to be deteriorating and bubbling from moisture. The home inspector noted this in the report that the sheetrock should be cut out and replaced. This is an area that should be tiled above the shower stall or protected in some other way to prevent this type of damage.
In Louisiana the inspection days written into the purchase contract are usually 10-12 days to complete buyer’s inspections. During this time the buyer may also conduct termite inspections, structural inspections and pool inspections.
Seller’s are allowed to respond to the Buyer's inspection and the buyer will have a final opportunity to accept or reject seller’s response electing to move forward with the Louisiana home purchase.
