  What is a Home or Pre Inspection?

  A Home Inspection is a visual and mechanical examination of the physical structure, of the vital major mechanical systems, and the appliances of a property.

  This helps you gain a better understanding of the condition of the properties mechanical systems and appliances from an objective point of view.

  Why have a Home Inspection?

  Most of us know nothing about plumbing, electricity, heating, insulation, roofing or the structural condition of a home. The professional home inspection is your protection against selling, buying, or investing in a property with defects!

  Benefits of a Professional Home Inspection!

  Buyers or Investors - When you purchase a home, you'll find that in Paragraph 10 of the Contract to Buy Real Estate, it discusses an Inspection Objection Deadline. This means that you, as the Buyer, at your expense, have a right to have an inspection done on the physical condition of the property and its inclusions. There is a time deadline in which to do the inspection, usually 10 days to 2 weeks after acceptance of the contract. You have a right to negotiate with the Seller to repair/replace any defective items. Keep in mind that you are not buying a new house and the inspection notice of the unsatisfactory conditions should not be a list of every little thing that's wrong with the home. It should address items that are of major concern or safety. The homes vital mechanical systems and all appliances, etc., that are in need of repairing or need to be replaced, and know that the property has been accurately priced. Most importantly, it helps buyers and/or investors protect their pocket book. This gives you tremendous peace of mind before you make one of the largest purchases of your life.
  The average inspection takes 2-3 hours, depending on the size, age, and condition of the home.  It is very important that the Buyers be present for the inspection because it not only provides insights to repairs needed, but it also gives the Buyers a basic understanding of all the systems in the home and how they operate.
  The Buyer may have anyone of their choosing do the inspection, but most Buyers hire a professional home inspector. The inspection company should be a member of ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors), NAHI (National Association of Home Inspectors) or any other association in which they have to meet certain standards of practice.  Professional inspectors are not required to be licensed in Colorado, so care should be taken in your selection.  The cost of a home inspection can range anywhere between $150 to $300 or more, depending on whether it's a house, town house, or condo and the square footage of the home. Some inspectors can also perform other services, such as radon gas testing, lead paint testing at an additional cost and mold inspection.  A home inspection is usually money very well spent. 

  Sellers - inspecting a property will help you know if anything is wrong before the home goes on the market and will help you: Set realistic expectations with respect to the properties value, streamline and shorten the sales cycle, and obtain top dollar for your home.  Rather than waiting for the buyer's inspector to find any issues, we got to them first and WE got to make the decision as to what to do with them. This program helped me sell my listing in just 12 days! In our society, real estate, as with many other practices, has become increasingly litigious, so it's become almost a necessity to disclose at the beginning of the listing period any problems that the buyers will most likely find out on their own, either through a pre-purchase inspection or after moving in. The new rule of law in real estate transactions is becoming "caveat vendor", or "seller beware," as more and more court decisions and legislation call for full disclosure to the buyer of the defects in a house.  A home inspection report exceeds the legal requirements for seller disclosure.  By revealing a larger body of information, a seller can effectively limit future liability.  A pre-sale inspection demonstrates to buyers that the sellers have nothing to hide. This promotes an environment of confidence and trust in which to negotiate the terms of a sale. Buyers are usually more willing to accept property defects that are initially disclosed. When faulty conditions are discovered later buyers typically demand repairs at seller's expense. The need for pre-sale home inspections is a strong one in today's real estate market.

  Homeowners or rental properties - Many owners cannot be completely objective about their property. After all, your home is your castle; your personal place. There is often a great deal of emotional history tied to it. This helps you know, for sure, the exact condition of your present home and if there are any maintenance problems that you are not aware of.

  Question to ask before hiring an inspector and what to look.

  An inspector must have full working knowledge of every system in a home. Most inspectors had formal training in just one trade. To become inspectors they had to cross-train in all the other relevant trades. The more knowledgeable inspectors started with a degree in a field such as engineering or architecture that provides a broad background in general construction or they were trained to operate as a general contractor. These are good bases to build from. One does not acquire this kind of knowledge by taking a few courses or reading a book. A good rule of thumb is to look for ten years of formal training and on-the-job experience in related fields.

  Well: A checklist for consumers with water wells. Find out from the seller or real estate agent the age of the well and whether it is registered with the Division of Water Resources. Wells constructed before 1972 may not be registered. If the well is registered, get the permit number and look up the permit at the state Division of Water Resources, which can be reached at (303) 866-3447. The permit describes any restrictions on the well. Some permits allow the well to supply water only for use inside the house.  Ask the seller or agent how many gallons per minute the well can pump. A typical residential well should be able to pump at least 7 to 10 gallons per minute. Colorado licensed pump installers or well drillers can be hired to measure a well pump's production and assess whether it will meet your needs.  A list of contractors is available at - www.water.state.co.us. Ask about water quality.  A state-certified lab can test it.  For a list of labs, call the state water quality control division at (303) 692-3500. Ask neighbors if they have had any water quality or water pressure problems. Find out the depth of the well on the property you are considering buying and compare it to neighbors' wells.  Inspect the well and make sure it has easy access for repair and maintenance, that the ground slopes away from the top of the well for drainage, that it has a weather-tight seal and that the casing is made of steel. Make sure the well is at least 50 feet away from a septic tank.
  For municipal wells: Contact the city or water district that supplies the water. Ask about any restrictions on water use such as outdoor watering or landscaping. Ask about water quality. Find out about water fees such as set monthly charges, the rate charged per 1,000 gallons and any special surcharges. Ask how many wells the city or district is drilling each year and how that cost will affect rates. Ask what the district's plans are for accommodating future growth. The Colorado Water Congress is a source of information to find contacts for water providers. Their number is (303) 837-0812 and the web site is www.cowatercongress.org.   Source: state division of water resources.
