SUMMARY
The inspected components appear to be in adequate condition, with some exceptions. Comparing this house to other houses of this age and type that we have recently inspected,
The number of repairs listed in the report is Bear in mind that all homes need repairs of one type or another, even if only minor. Generally, older homes need more repairs. This varies depending on maintenance and upgrading performed over the years. Some of the reported repairs are of the type that you might be inclined to live with under ordinary circumstances. Buyers and sellers of homes often have different perspectives on this issue.
Immediate repairs (Safety Concerns) that should be completed prior to occupancy and major repairs that might cost more than $500.00 to remedy include:
Safety Concern Some of the nuts are missing from the bolts holding the attic access ladder together. This can be very dangerous and should be repaired immediately.
Safety Concern The lines and regulators from the propane tank are partially obscured by bushes at the back west corner of the building. The bushes and weeds need to be trimmed away from these lines and caution used in this area when doing yard work. Damage to one of the lines could have serious consequences.
Other repairs are needed as mentioned in the report. Not all the repairs are urgent, and some of the items you would probably ignore if you were already living in the house.
Possible, future concerns over the next couple of years include:
Normal wear and tear.
While we make an effort to identify existing or potential problems, it is not possible for a home inspector to predict the future. For this reason, it would be advisable to budget perhaps $1000.00 to $1500.00 dollars a year for unforeseen repairs and maintenance. This would hold true for any house you were considering.
Please feel free to call at any time if you have any questions.
