While property inspections provide no guarantee, they will educate you as to the condition of a property. Inspections are usually requested on the Purchase Contract, and if inspection results are unsatisfactory, you have the option to withdraw your contract without penalty.

In addition to the professional inspections listed below, take a close look at the property yourself. For example, inspect cupboards, doors, windows, flooring, counter tops, bath and kitchen fixtures, built-in appliances, stairways and banisters. Also be sure to be perfectly clear as to what stays with the house and what does not.

·        Termite Report – The Pest Report will indicate any type of wood destroying organisms that may be present. If the condition is “active,” or currently causing damage to the property, the damage will need to be corrected prior to the lender making the loan. Most lenders will require a termite inspection to be completed. The cost of the inspection, in most cases, is covered by the Seller.

·        Building Permits Package – Some homes may have had additions and/or alterations completed over the years. If you would like a report showing all permits pulled and/or completed on the home this report would show that. This report, should you choose to have one completed, is paid for by you.

·        Physical Inspection – Usually done by a General Home Inspector, a Physical Inspection is a thorough inspection of the house. The inspection results in an overall assessment of the present condition of the property. This inspection, should you choose to complete one, is paid for by you.

Kapolei Realty, Inc. strongly recommends to each Buyer that a professional inspection be conducted regardless of the age or initial appearance of condition of a home. Though the cost is covered by the Buyer it is one that allows the Buyer to understand their total investment.

If conditions warrant, the Home Inspector may recommend a Structural Engineer’s Report. Such a report would identify structural failures and detail recommended corrections.
