Home Inspection Mistakes to Avoid for Downtown Los Angeles Lofts and Condos

Announced by industry experts, there are more than 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale.

2014-03-20 16.13.42

A new report has been prepared which identifies the most common of these problems and what you should know about them before you list your loft for sale – not after.

Whether you own an old loft or a brand new condo, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until after you list your home for sale and the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn off prospective buyers completely.

ad-cp-inspection-ho-csiIn many cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for. And knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly disasters.

To help home sellers prevent these issues before their home is listed for sale, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled that explains how to prevent costly inspection failures.

Because of its proximity to the Los Angeles River, merchants were able to both water their crops and distribute produce.

Warehouses and factories replaced the orchards and vineyards, and by the early 1900’s the area was a manufacturing and distribution powerhouse.This 3 story 2 bedroom loft feature a private patio and original brick wall.A must see!
