All About Condominium Inspections

People today are generally seen settling in nuclear families and do not necessarily believe in having bungalows. Instead, they intend to go for small and detached living where a building has several separately owned apartments or houses.
And what better than a Condo?

Condominiums are a great housing option for people nowadays. But when the construction type changes, certain things do need consideration as a condo buyer to ensure the purchase of the perfect property. Getting any property checked by a professional home inspection company is one thing. But the snagging process's dimensions change when we talk about a condo.
So, when we say condo today, especially in a place like Dubai, a general eye-view is of the grand skyscrapers launching high into the sky. 

But is it only one?
No, right!

Today's world is dominated by a construction culture more inclined towards buildings and complexes, and people choose to live in privacy and safety. In such a case, reviews, property inspectors, and homeowners also include another set of people who will help get you through the process. They are HOA(Homeowners Associations) for the building or complex. 

HOA takes charge of the repairs and maintenance that any condo faces. Snagging inspectors generally are coordinated with HOA when the repairs are suggested. So, let's check out what is covered in a condominium inspection while highlighting the ones excluded from this particular kind of property inspection.

Unlike a general property inspection, condo inspections generally undergo a kindred process. Every condominium inspection will cover the major systems of the property, like the- 
  • MEP means the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing fixtures.
  • A check on the windows and doors and other furniture systems
  • The Heating and Cooling(subject to the Realtor's guidelines).
  • Balconies
  • Ceilings, walls, and floors for structural damages and leakage
  • Pre-installed appliances

But mainly, what a condominium inspection would only hold includes a few things. So, let us catch up on them one by one. And because the condominium buildings, societies, or rather complex structures share some common areas, your home inspector's snagging process will get restricted in terms of space and accessibility. The Realtor shares the checklist for the do's and don'ts. 
So, without further ado, let's check out the things!
  1. HVAC systems: By HVAC, we generally refer to the condensation system in the house. Many-a-times, it is observed that these systems are "split" in structure and nature. Meaning the condenser and evaporator coils are located distantly from each other. In the case of a condo, the condenser is located on the rooftop of the building. It falls under the common or restricted area of the complex, indicating that it is inaccessible for the property inspector to include it in the snagging process.
  2. Such buildings' rooftops are generally locked and made inaccessible for general use. Therefore, property inspectors do not have a view of the roof of the building.
  3. The Foundation of the structure is used mostly for a parking or reception area, which makes it a utility for everyday use. So, when it comes to checking it out, unfortunately, professionals have to miss out on the basement or Foundation too.
  4. Furthermore, areas of everyday use such as- hallways, courtyards, lobbies, exterior stairs, laundry rooms, swimming pools, and many others; also lay a step behind the process. 

So, if you are on your way to making a condominium deal, you have an initial picture with you now!
Purchasing a condo can be an exciting voyage to make some beautiful memories and scenic views. Although there are a few things that should be listed in the checklist of a property inspector, there are many more that are included. So, if you need help configuring the best way out, GTA Inspectors- the best home snagging company in Dubai- is here to unbox what your condo has in for you!
