Home Inspections
The home inspection itself is one of the most important steps in the due diligence of involved with purchasing Costa Rican real estate. Hiring a professional home inspector will aid in the creation of your own assessed value. This is important because the municipality, the home owner and the real estate agency may not provide the best assessment for your interest. Home inspectors can be found all over Costa Rica and it is ideal to find one independently of your real estate broker.
Home inspections last a few hours and they mostly look for pests, structural damage and potentially dangerous wiring and utilities. It usually takes another day to write up the comprehensive report regarding, water shut-off, electrical issues and other fundamentally important aspects of a property that one may not consider. They can give you a great all around sense of what the property has and does not have to offer. This can save a great deal of money when looking at the consequences of over paying for a property.
