Buyers, not sellers, pay for these inspections so the inspector is working for them, not the seller. You may wish to include in your agreement of sale the right to cancel if you are not satisfied with the inspection results. You can also use the information to renegotiate for a lower sale price or require the seller to make repairs.
Plan to go to the inspection and follow the inspector around asking as many questions as possible-remember this is going to be your home and you need to understand every nook and cranny! Most inspectors will point out the areas that are potential problems, as well as aspects of the house that are in good shape. This is important because you will be able to see for yourself the extent of the problems that are sometimes hard for an inspector to convey in a report. Most inspectors will also show you how the heating system works and show you what things will need to be maintained in order to keep the home in good condition.
Remember, almost all homes will show problems. Even newly constructed homes will have problems noted on an inspection report. Your inspector will be able to identify major problems that will be costly to fix. Minor problems are to be expected and can be repaired after closing. Major problems may require a negotiation between you and the seller as to how to fix them. A seller may adjust the purchase price or contract terms if major problems are found. If the problems are costly, you will be able to make a more informed decision about the house with the proper knowledge about its potential future cost.
Today, more and more international multi-millionaires are moving to the United States to set up residence. They are looking for beautiful move-in condition, clean, elegant, and architecturally updated homes.
The preferred areas of choice include Hollywood Hills' "The Bird Streets," west of Laurel Canyon; Beverly Hills, the flats between Santa Monica and Sunset; and Bel Aire, gated Beverly Crest and Holmby Hills.
Why choose Los Angeles? Once again, L.A. is rapidly becoming a vibrant area that attracts young, ambitious people from all over the world. What has changed? Basic economics. The exchange rate now favors internationals, and property values are low compared to many other countries. I have a client from the U.K. who just placed on offer on a 4 bedroom, 4500 square foot new construction Architectural, with a spectacular view in the heart of the Strip, for $ 4,750,000.
In London something with the level of finish this house offers would be in the $ 15,000,000 range. You could easily say the same about Tokyo, Hong Kong, Milan or Paris. Then again, you could say the same about New York, Boston or Seattle. Like it or not, L.A. homes are at bargain rates, this is as good as it gets for buyers. Sellers, on the other hand, have to accept that in order to sell. The economy, whether you are a democrat or republican, is moving. And we will start to see it pick up speed by summer 2011. Mediterranean style bungalows I swell known for its interiors, arched entrance doors and low tiled roof. Santa Monica Homes Sunset strip estate is attractive to foreign visitors as well.
