5 things to look for in your pre settlement inspection

Описание: Hey, everyone! Today, I'm going to share with you the top five things you should look for during your pre-settlement inspection. I know, it may not sound like the most exciting part, but trust me, it's crucial to ensure a smooth transition into your new home. So, let's get started!

The first thing you should check during your pre-settlement inspection is repairs. Unless you're purchasing a brand-new home, there might be some repairs that were agreed upon between you and the seller. Make sure to carefully inspect the property and ensure that all the repairs have been completed as promised. This will save you from any surprises after settlement.

Next, let's talk about inclusions. These are the items that come with the property sale, such as appliances, fixtures, and window coverings. Take your sales contract with you and confirm that all the inclusions are present and in good working condition. If anything is missing or damaged, bring it up with the seller before finalizing the deal.

On the flip side, don't forget to check for exclusions. These are items that are not included in the sale and should have been removed by the seller. Look around the property and make sure that any agreed-upon exclusions have been taken out. If you notice anything that shouldn't be there, address it with the seller promptly.

Another important thing to keep an eye out for is any damage. Sometimes accidents happen, and the property might have experienced damage before settlement. Check for any dents, scratches, or other issues that may have occurred. It's better to catch them now so that the seller can rectify them before you move in.

Lastly, don't forget to look out for trash. It's unfortunate, but sometimes sellers leave behind unwanted items, debris, or rubbish. Take a thorough walk-through of the property, including the garden, and note down any trash you come across. Communicate your expectations to the seller and ensure that they clean up before your settlement.

And there you have it! The five essential things to look for in your pre-settlement inspection. Remember, this is your opportunity to ensure that everything is in order before you become a proud homeowner.
