Should I Get an Inspection for a Loch Arbour Condo?
If you are in the process of purchasing a unit in a condominium building? You may be wondering if getting it inspected is necessary. Some buyers are uncertain about what type of home inspection is needed for a condo. NJ Inspects's team recommends getting the interior and the exterior of a condo in Loch Arbour inspected. You really will want to pay to have your condo inspected. The potential price of having to repair faulty electrical or plumbing systems is potentially far more expensive.

Why Get Exterior Inspections on Loch Arbour Condominiums?
When you purchase a condo unit, you will be buying into an HOA (Homeowners Association). The HOA collects a monthly fee from the owners in order to maintain the exterior aspects of the building, such as roofing, siding, and gutters.
Why is inspecting the exterior of a condo important, given it's covered by the HOA? Understanding the overall condition of the building and its reserves of funds will give you a better sense of the health of the building and the likelihood that you'll be hit with additional "special assessments" to handle large repairs such as roof replacements. When NJ Inspects inspects the exterior of the building, they will provide the amount of "life" left in the exterior structures.
NJ Inspects can help you understand your condo's resale certificate, which buyers can review prior to purchasing. This certificate allows you to review the reserve study, in which the HOA lists expenses for upcoming projects. You'll want to see that the HOA is well-funded and has the necessary reserves required for maintenance and larger repairs.
