The title sounds funny but it happens. ฝากขายอาคารพาณิชย์ In the last few weeks I did a couple of inspections on pre sale homes that were not what they seem. A home listing will tell you a lot but not always accurate only because somebody just did not know. County records are not always accurate either. The first home was listed as masonry construction. Arriving at the home I could see why it was listed as masonry but hey I am an inspector and right away things did not add up. Block masonry was visible below the stucco line. Going around the outside of the home I found a crawl space entry and determined this is a wood frame home on stem wall foundation. By appearance these are just a row of blocks or a block wall around the bottom perimeter of the home. The second home was listed as site built single family wood home. I found the same type of stem wall construction and it was a wood frame home.
The difference this time is this home had all the features of a mobile home or modular. I talked to the agent and everyone refused to believe it was anything other than a standard home. I inspected the attic and found all the signs of a manufactured home. Split rafter systems, code and plug wiring, mass produced components and joint connections. Finally spoke to the owner and he verified my claim and stated the home was brought in four sections and finished on site. I then pulled the property card and in tiny little letters and code found the word modular. So, just another reason to have an inspection. This simple oversight can be a game changer when it comes to purchase price,financing and insurance not to mention is this what you really want? Always verify what you think you are buying with an inspection.
I enjoy working with buyers, sellers and Real Estate professionals bringing everyone together on the same page. When we all work together we can find solutions to potential issues that may arise. Not all issues found are bad. Most are actually minor and cosmetic and with a little touch up, nail or screw here or there makes all the difference. Finding the little problems first can prevent larger problems down the road. It's like a leak that never gets fixed.
In these two cases the buyers still made the purchase.
