It’s a rule of thumb to get a house inspected during the purchase process to make sure you’re not buying your way into a life-long headache, and even San Diego million dollar homes are no exception to this rule.
While you should be conducting your very own preliminary inspection as you tour properties of interest, looking out for obvious issues, it’s imperative that you hire a professional to conduct a thorough inspection on the San Diego million dollar home that you choose to buy.
Your San Diego luxury buyer’s agent should be able to produce a list of reputable inspectors you can hire, although you can easily locate a certified inspector on your own by visiting The National Association of Home Inspectors website or the American Society of Home Inspectors website.
Here are some things that a good inspector will check when reviewing the San Diego million dollar home of your choice:
- Roof
- Chimney
- Fascia and soffits
- Gutters
- Walls
- Windows
- Doors (and frames)
- Porches and decks
- Foundation
- Lot area
- Floors
- Ceilings
- Bathrooms
- Kitchens
- Wiring
- Garage
Upon completion, you will be provided with a full report that outlines the condition of the areas inspected on your San Diego million dollar home of choice. A copy of the inspection report can be given to the seller and the listing agent if you choose.
Additionally, the inspector can review the report with you to elaborate on any defects and help you prioritize any adjustments that may need to be made.
As you can imagine, a home inspection can save you a world of trouble if it’s discovered that your desired San Diego million dollar home has a few skeletons in the closet (so to speak). Be sure to play it safe and have your home of choice inspected before closing the deal!
