I know what you’re thinking. “A home inspection in Los Angeles is only for old homes that have had time to wear out and break down. My house was just built by a great builder and is just fine. I don’t need to spend even more money on a complete inspection when I know everything is ok.” Well, you are totally right – hopefully. There are just a few things you might want to consider before you spend your first night in your new home.
1. Here is the big one. Home inspectors have found many instances where the builder has overlooked connecting the houses sewer line to the outgoing sewer. That leaves all of the waste from the entire house collecting under it. What a simple but horrible thing. How much would it cost to fix that stink and would you want to still live there anyway?
When you have a new home built you expect it to be perfect and complete. The truth is that the people that are building your home have the same tendencies towards carelessness and lazyness as everyone else. They make mistakes too and are just as likely to say things are “good enough” and let those mistakes slide as anyone else.
A good home inspection of the best new homes will sometimes find mistakes and problems that would have been easily fixed by the builder. But, if the issue doesn’t surface until later then guess who gets to pay for fixing it.
3. “Yah, the bank and county codes and requirements will surely find and correct any issue during construction.” Well the bank is just there to check that the different phases of construction are completed not that they were done correctly. As for the county guys, they are stretched super thin and will not be there to catch everything that can go wrong before problems are hidden from view. Having an independent inspector visiting regularly during construction is the best and most affordable answer.
So there you have three good reasons to have an independent pair of eyes checking things for you. In fact your home inspector is the only person on the whole project that is not negatively effected when mistakes are found.
The simple answer to avoiding tons of trouble is to have a home inspection in Los Angeles done during the construction process. If the house is already complete then the property inspection should be done before the close of escrow.
