Condominium Inspections

Condo/Townhouse inspections are essential for ensuring that a home is in good condition before purchase. A Condo/Townhouse inspection is a detailed evaluation of the property’s condition, covering interior components. The inspection identifies potential issues, ensuring the buyer is aware of any necessary repairs or safety concerns. Being present during the inspection can provide further insights and help make an informed purchasing decision.

Since Condo/Townhouse buyers will only own the inside of the structure, before finalizing your purchase, it’s essential to understand the HOA bylaws. These rules govern the community and can impact your living experience. The HOA bylaws dictate rules and regulations, fees and assessments, maintenance responsibilities, governance and voting, conflict resolution, and insurance requirements.

Our Condo/Townhouse inspections do not include the evaluation of common areas or components controlled or maintained by an HOA including the roof, building structure, grounds and exterior cladding.

Condo/Townhouse inspections are a comprehensive evaluation of the building systems and components within a condominium unit which include the HVAC system, electrical, plumbing, windows, flooring, major appliances as well as maintenance and service issues for the unit. One of the primary focuses of a Condo/Townhouse inspection is the condition of shared walls. We check for any signs of water intrusion, structural damage, or poor sound insulation. Water intrusion can lead to mold and mildew, which pose health risks and can be costly to remediate. Common elements are not included in the inspection since they are covered by the technical audit performed by the condominium association and are a shared responsibility among all unit owners.

Having a comprehensive Condo/Townhouse inspection with Betterview Home Inspections helps in making an informed decision, negotiating repairs, or adjustments to the purchase price. By understanding what is part of a Condo/Townhouse inspection and preparing accordingly, you can ensure a thorough and effective inspection process.
