What is Pre-Delivery Service in Real Estate? – You are bout to get your dream house construction finished. It might be the elation of finally moving in, or probably letting it out. Whatever the case, all the same, there is still one most important thing left to do before you are fully settled: the pre-delivery inspection.
Even if your house is new, you might find small defects or discrepancies in it, but you would surely want to have these corrected before actually shifting to the new place. The issue, however, is that unless you are some kind of construction expert, you cannot judge the quality of the work done; and that is where the pre-delivery service comes into play.
It is advisable to have professionals inspect your property before taking possession to ensure everything is up to standard. Companies like HomeReady Global offer expert guidance in identifying and addressing any outstanding issues.
What does a pre-delivery service include?
A pre-delivery inspection, by general rule, uses a complete checklist to make sure everything regarding the property is done with high standards. But note that the checklist used will vary according to the type of property—be it a single-family house, a condominium, and others.
For instance, an architect inspector with the necessary qualifications will examine the property with the utmost care and pinpoint issues to be attended to, whether uneven paint, electrical malfunctions, blocked pipes, or minor construction defects. This is communicated to the developer for the issues to be solved before you move in.
With HomeReady Global, the home inspection is even easier and less cumbersome. The homeowner can easily track what needs to be done about any outstanding fixes or final touches through our app, so there is no ambiguity about whether the issues have been addressed.
Key Areas to Check:
- Interior & Exterior Surfaces: walls, floors, tiles, countertops, cabinetry, paint, brickwork, siding, steps, and driveway.
- Appliances: verify that all included appliances are properly installed and working.
- Electrical: inspect light fixtures, switches, and outlets for functionality.
- Plumbing: check sinks, faucets, toilets, tubs, and visible pipes for leaks or issues.
- Doors & Windows: ensure all doors and windows open, close, and lock correctly.
- Mechanical Systems: confirm that heating, cooling, and ventilation systems are functioning properly.
