PRE-INSPECTION AGREEMENT

Texas Real Estate Commission Consumer Protection Notice

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A THOROUGH INSPECTION

  • PRICE: Usually an inspector goes by the Appraisal districts listed square footage and the number of items outside the scope of the in normal inspection.
  • (Texas Real Estate Commission: Standards of Practice).
  • LENGTH of TIME: As a general rule of thumb the inspection is quoted at 1hr for every 1000 sq/ft.
  • Present at Inspection: Here at A&K Real Estate Services, Inc. We generally either want the Buyer or Buyer’s Agent Present; however this is not required.
  • Utilities: All utilities such as gas, electric, water MUST be working at the time of inspection.

            (Additional fees apply if inspector is requested to return to complete inspection or evaluation)

  • Replace all burned out light bulbs
  • Test and replace all smoke detector batteries as needed
  • Change all filters for the heating and air conditioning system
  • Have keys available for all doors and locks.
  • Remove all locks from gates and service panels so they can be accessed
  • Repair all minor known defects; loose/ damaged gutters, leaking faucets, damaged fixtures and hardware.
  • Remove all stored items and debris from around the foundation.
  • Move all items from around access panels including; electric panels, plumbing access panels in the closets and the crawl space access opening.
  • We all love our pets but it would be best if they visited a friend or are put away during the inspection
  • The pool and hot tub equipment should be operational and accessible.
  • Provide a copy of all recent receipts  for repairs and maintenance done to the house such as; roof, heating and air conditioning system, and major appliances
  • Trim all trees and bushes away from the house
  • Remember that all stored items in attics, closets and craw spaces will limit the inspectors view, you may want to remove them
  • During the inspection the inspector will be operating almost everything in the house and garage

Do you think Newly built homes need inspections done?
The short answer is YES!!!
