Funny Story Proving the Importance of a Home Inspection
Posted by Elise Chisholm on Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 at 8:20pm.
I was writing up an offer with my clients the other night and got to the Property Inspection Schedule. I was explaining how the home inspection works and they had to stop me and share the most hilarious home inspection story I've ever heard.
Their friends had conditionally purchased a home and had the inspector in to asses the property. While he was inspecting the home he pulled back a sofa in the living room; to his shock the sellers had painted AROUND all the furniture in the home! Old paint colours lurked behind each piece of furniture in the home. Why on earth the sellers would go to all the extra work to carefully paint around their furniture is beyond me, but what a surprising and funny moment in the home inspection! I am so relieved that they found out prior to the closing date and were able to resolve the issue.
There are endless reasons to get a home inspection, but this is certainly not one that I would have thought of! For more information on how important they are please read Why Every Buyer Should Get a Home Inspection.
Home inspectors and realtors - I'd love to hear your entertaining stories of inspections and what they have revealed! Feel free to comment.
