Inspections Important Part of Due Diligence
In Atlanta, whether in Buckhead or Midtown or anywhere else in Metro Atlanta, Inspections are an important part of the pre-purchase Due Diligence. How does one choose an Inspection Company? Check out reviews and ask about experience that others have had.
That's normal - right? Now two additional questions to ask -
Inspector -
Is the person experienced with the type of home you are purchasing?
The Inspections for single family homes are different to the Inspections for a high rise building. For example, in a single family home, the HVAC systems are dedicated to that one dwelling. In a high rise building, one central chiller may service the entire building. Ask about the range of experience that the Inspector has developed over the years.
Inspection Report -
Is the report individualized for you or generated on a template?
When the Inspection Report is generated, the experienced Inspector has a Section for each element of the Inspection. Your Inspector should have experience and not just have paid for a franchise that offers a "fill-in-the-blanks" form to use for the Inspection Report.
Inspection Process -
Be sure that you are present for the entire Inspection.
When Frank Cooper, of Atlanta Property Inspections, reviews a home for the prospective Buyer, he requests that the Buyer accompany him each step of the way. He explains how different things function in the home which allows the soon-to-be Owner to understand about upkeep and maintenance.
You ALWAYS want to be present when your Inspection is being completed.
