Passing Your Home Inspection

Passing Your Home Inspection

If you're getting ready to sell your home, do everything you can to get the house in good condition before you attempt to sell it, but don't be discouraged if the inspection report contains negative statements. Home inspectors make note of everything they see. No home is perfect.

Fix leaks and clogs before the home inspection takes place. The inspector will check water pressure by turning on multiple faucets and flushing toilets at the same time. Appliances such as dishwashers and clothes washers will be tested, too. Leaks and clogs will be apparent during these checks.

The home inspector might check the septic system (if you have one). During one method dyes are flushed down a toilet. The inspector waits to see if the dye surfaces on the drainfield, indicating a drainage problem.

The electrical panel and circuit breaker configuration should be adequate for the needs of the house. A 125 amp electrical panel works for most homes. Individual circuits should not be overloaded.

The inspector will look for receptacles with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFI) in bathrooms and kitchens. These receptacles have little test-reset buttons on them. The home inspector will likely make sure the receptacles are what they appear to be, and not "dummies" that aren't wired to work.

Some of the grounded receptacles (with 3-pronged plugs) will be checked too.

The inspector will check the heating and cooling systems, making sure they work he may add comments about their efficiency. The inspector will take a close look at the structure and foundation. All appliances will be checked. The inspection report will include details about smoke detectors.

Remember that the home inspection report is not a wish-list for buyers. Read your contract carefully–it probably states which systems should be in good working order at closing.

Your contract may also state that you are under no obligation to make any repairs at all–although the buyers can then likely withdraw from the contract. Don't feel you must comply with unreasonable demands for repairs.

Were Your Loan Documents Forged?

Were Your Loan Documents Forged?

It is estimated that there are more than 9 million people who are in foreclosure today with the numbers of foreclosures increasing by the day. There is a silver lining for some of them. Documents pertaining to some home loans were not correct and in some instances were even forged. In such circumstances these homeowners have a chance of getting their foreclosures waived.

Only those who have an in-depth knowledge about property laws and loan regulations will be able to figure out who might qualify. The loan papers are thoroughly examined by these professionals and checked for any discrepancy. There are certain laws pertaining to mortgages that must be adhered to. It is a violation of law if an omission or error is made by the agents of the lender or the lender themselves. It is here where the experts take over.

After checking the loan audits, they note any violations in the loan documents. They use the same to initiate litigation with the lender in question. In such situations the lender will be held accountable for laws and/or loan documents that may have been fudged. On completion of the audit and identification of the loan violations, the organization will help you through US legal advisors to find an attorney who can assist you to follow up the case with any requisite legal action required against the lender.

If you think your loan may have been forged in any way, it might be time to take action and save yourself from the impending threat of foreclosure. Before your lender terminates you of your rights through foreclosure and takes over your property, you should file a case against them if you suspect fraud in any way, and it can be verified.
