CASTLE HOME INSPECTIONS SERVICE:
Our inspection is a visual examination of the structure and systems of a building. If you are thinking of buying a single family home, condominium, or multi-unit building you should have it thoroughly inspected before the final purchase by an experienced and impartial professional inspector. A professional inspection is simply an examination into the current condition of your prospective real estate investment. It is not an appraisal or a Municipal Code inspection. An inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a building, but will simply describe its condition and indicate which items will be in need of minor or major repairs or replacement. A complete inspection includes a visual examination of the building from top to bottom. The inspector evaluates and reports the condition of the structure, roof, foundation, drainage, plumbing, heating system, central air-conditioning system, visible insulation, walls, windows, and doors. Only those items that are visible and accessible by normal means are included in the report. The best time to consult the inspector is right after you’ve made an offer on your new building. The real estate contract usually allows for a grace period to inspect the building. Ask your professional agent to include this inspection clause in the contract, making your purchase obligation contingent upon the findings of a professional inspection.
