Types Of San Diego Home Inspections
“We’re buying a condo built about 10 years ago. It looks like it’s in great shape. Do you think we need to get it inspected?”
***ANSWER:
There are many types of inspections:
- pest control (aka termite)
- home inspection
- mold
- structural / engineering
- plumbing, heating, electrical, roofing
- and more
I’m assuming you’re asking if you should get a standard home inspection (aka contractor’s inspection). The answer is a resounding YES. Even with a condo, it’s good insurance.
Here’s one example that just happened…
I just helped a good friend of mine buy a condo much like you described and she asked me that same question. I advised her to have the condo inspected. The inspector discovered the heater didn’t work, plus some other items needing attention. Fortunately we got the seller to make the repairs. For about $300, she saved herself from some expensive problems.
Regarding other inspections…
You’ll probably ask the seller to perform and pay for a pest control inspection and clearance.
To be 100% safe, you could do every conceivable inspection (mold, geological, etc.), but most people do them if recommended by their home inspector or if they suspect there could be issues.
