• A Property inspection is exciting because it is
  the first chance that the buyer gets to step into
  the house before completing the purchase.
• It is also important because it is the time for
  the buyer to find out serious flaws in the
  building, its interiors, foundation and exterior
  and ask the seller to fix them or even allow the
  buyer to walk away from the deal unscathed.
• Lastly, it can be tiring when too many things
  have to be checked upon.
• A home inspection is only a chance that the buyer
  gets to visually examine and ascertain the homes
  overall condition.
• This activity can turn into an exhausting one if
  the buyer has to check too many physical aspects
  of the home.
• This is when a home inspection checklist comes in
  handy.

Property Inspection Checklist - 1.Check for
leakage and water leakage

• Although roof leaks are usually not a problem in
  apartments, water leaks that cause dampness on
  walls can be a serious problem.
• Let's assume , for example, that there is water
  leaking from the bathroom floor of the flat right
  above you.
• It causes dampness on one of the walls of a room
  located diagonally below it.
• These damps usually get worse over the years and
  spread all over the wall , making it ugly and
  damaging the outer covering.

conditioning

• Heating , ventilation and air conditioning ( HVAC
  ) systems are something that we tend to give the
  least importance to.
• However, hi-end apartments now come with
  pre-installed HVAC systems and before you move
  in, make sure to check their effectiveness.
• And always make sure that you know who should
  manage all potential services, whether they are
  inclusive services offered by the owners or need
  to be managed at the expense of the owner.

  the inside and, if possible, from the outside as

  need to make a special effort to find them, but
  it is worth your effort.
• They may soon grow to be major problem areas left
  undetected.
