Whenever a home gets bought or sold, it’s standard practice to send in an inspector so that the buyers are certain there’s nothing wrong with it. Though there are several laws in force that require this to happen, it’s likely that market pressure would anyway. People would demand that they move into a safe residence, thus few real estate agencies wouldn’t hire out this service even if they had the option to do otherwise.
Local residents are also demanding that their agents do a multi-unit inspection for them as well. Anyone moving into a home that offers separate arrangements for more than one group of people deserves the same treatment that those buying a single-family house does. Professional multi-unit inspection crews will go over these residences with all of the same gusto that they would when dealing with a more conventional home. That means residents can feel good about their decision once they move in.
Among other things, these inspectors look for traces of lead paint and other dangerous substances that were once used in home construction. While they’ve been banned for years, countless older homes have at least some paint in them that needs to be removed in order to be safe. Radon gas is another major source of danger when it comes to moving into a multi-unit dwelling. By taking the time to perform a proper inspection, residents can trust that they’re in a much better position to move in.
