Why get a home inspection in Kfar Saba

Buying real estate is probably the biggest purchase you will make in your life. Before buying an apartment or a house, it pays to have it inspected: you go into the purchase with peace of mind, and if there are defects, at least you know about them and that they are minor. We recommend this both for a resale apartment and for a new one bought straight from a contractor.

An inspection before buying can save you a lot of stress now and money later, sometimes even money right away. The report covers the details that matter most about what is probably the most expensive thing you will ever buy, so it is worth entrusting it to an experienced, professional company run by a qualified building engineer.

The inspection confirms that the property meets the relevant standards and identifies any construction defects and how to fix them. An experienced engineer notices things that someone without training or experience would miss, at least until damp shows up on the ceiling, cracks appear in the walls, or the wiring starts to short out.

Since most of us have no background in building engineering, it makes sense to rely on a home inspection company to run the checks and explain the findings in plain language.

What a Kfar Saba home inspection company looks for

A home inspection for a new apartment from a contractor can sound unnecessary. What could possibly be wrong with a brand-new apartment? Yet it has happened before. In one well-known case in Hadera, balconies collapsed in a new building; the inspection that followed found their strength fell well short of the standard, in a building fresh from the contractor.

Contractors have to meet a long list of laws, regulations, and standards, and these are updated every year to keep new apartments safe to live in. Without a background in construction, there is no realistic way to know all of them, let alone the skills to verify compliance. That takes a qualified, experienced engineer.

Just as most of us would not buy a car without checking it first, the same logic applies to an apartment, especially a resale one where defects may have developed over time. Buyers sometimes assume that because someone lived there before, any problems would already have surfaced, and skip the inspection, but a seller may in fact be trying to offload a property because of defects they have discovered.

So what does a home inspection include? It covers every system and component in the apartment: electrical, water, heating (where present), and sewage, the condition of the plaster, sealing, and walls, right down to the sanitary fixtures such as showers, toilets, and sinks. A professional, experienced building engineer carries it out, with the knowledge, experience, and tools to check every system.

Sometimes a specific finding, or a problem that turns up during the inspection, calls for a closer look from an engineer who specializes in that area.

Kfar Saba's home inspection engineer

One of the most common reasons to order an inspection is a major renovation. It is worth confirming that the work has not damaged any other part of the apartment: for example, that a kitchen renovation has not damaged the wall between the kitchen and the living room, or the apartment's wiring. So an inspection can be useful during a large renovation, or right after one.

Arad Bedek Bayit covers the full range: resale apartments, new apartments from a contractor, common areas in a building, and full building inspections. Our team of engineers, with the knowledge and experience behind them, delivers all of it nationwide, with full accountability for the inspection, under the direction of engineer Ron Arad, who has more than 22 years in building engineering.
