| After
inspections buyer and lender often ask seller to make repairs Buyer inspections usually take place after the price
and terms have been negotiated.
Lender inspections seldom provide
warranties for buyer. |
Some buyers order
a building inspection and if there are no major flaws proceed. Some buyers order a building inspection and ask the
seller to repair all flaws.
Most buyers ask the seller to repair some
items that surface in the inspection report as items that need attention. |
The
appraiser's mandate is to determine if the property is being sold for a fair market price.
The appraiser usually needs inside access to view the condition and amenities. It is the appraiser who alerts the lender to the
need for add-on inspections.
For instance most lenders require 5 years
remaining roof life. |
When
a property is being financed by a lender, it is reasonable to expect the property to meet
minimum lender requirements. This is usually but not necessarily the seller's
responsibility. Common
inspections are roof, septic, electrical, structural and pest. The pest inspection deals
with infestation, ventilation and water damage. |
