- Do I need an inspection if I am buying a condo?
- Absolutely. A home inspection protects you as a buyer. Knowing the condition of a condo before you buy it is in your best interest. Inspectors should not only check for defects in your unit, they should also check the general condition of common areas and systems (e.g., gas, electrical, roofing, etc).
- Because repairs to common areas and systems are paid for by your home owner association (HOA) fees, ask to see the home owner’s association maintenance plan. You should also ask to review the association’s meeting minutes to learn about maintenance issues and subsequent increases in HOA fees.
