Loft – That’s those big boxes that people can live and work in. They also make a great canvas for creating your own work of three dimensional art called a home :-)
Before buying or selling an industrial, commercial or live-work loft in Los Angeles, prospective home buyers and sellers should know about all of the issues regarding lofts in Downtown and Greater Los Angeles. Most real estate professionals are not familiar with lofts because they are relatively rare, as they are special exemptions to housing rules under the City of Los Angeles Adaptive Re-Use Ordinance. Because they have several differences, a loft specialist inspector is usually recommended so that the buyer can get the best information on what is wrong and what is right with the loft. Sellers also need to know what to do ahead of time to get a loft prepared to pass a home inspection before selling. Get a list of Downtown loft inspectors.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Downtown Loft or Condo for Sale
Downtown – According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, 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 11 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 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 prospective buyers away altogether. In most 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 and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.LALoftInspect.com Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn’t cost you the sale of your home.
