Financial analysts and economic experts are united in their opinion that now is the best time for buying property since the prices of houses have been significantly reduced owed to the ongoing economic crisis and the bursting of the housing bubble. The rate of mortgage is also at an all time low.
Because of the unbelievably low prices of properties, most buyers, in their excitation, unwittingly fail to examine the property in a professional manner. On the contrary, it should be noted by everyone who is planning to buy a house that it is something that you do not buy every day. Rather than being transported away by exuberance and buying a house that has some defects that will cost a lot of money later to fix, a buyer should make sure that the house is in order and the money that he is paying for the house is getting him good value.
At the time of buying a house, the most common mistake made by prospective buyers is that they became satisfied with the general home inspection report without taking into account the fact that this inspection is carried out only for a few things like the roof, furnace, fixtures and plumbing. Basically, it is a standard report that provides an account of the most obvious fixtures and their current condition. A buyer should understand that it is, at the end of the day, his own duty to thoroughly examine the house and check each and every one of its features before making the payment. Failing to do so can land him in serious trouble later on.
The most common problem found in homes – especially old ones – concerns the sewerage line of the house. The problem with the sewerage line is that it is buried deep beneath the house and can not be inspected thoroughly from the outside. The pipeline is beneath the earth and consequentially more affected by root intrusion and damage due to waste products incurred over a long period of time.
Buyers must bear in mind that a healthy looking sewerage system may break up anytime resulting in an ugly mess inside your house that will not only disable your daily schedule but also cost you a bundle when you go about fixing it.
There is, however, a silver lining – a way of saving yourself all this uncalled for trouble in a very simple and cost-effective manner. With a sewer scope, a buyer can easily make sure that the drain system of the house that he is buying is working properly.
Sewer scopes are extremely economic procedures carried out by skilled professional plumbers. The process of a sewer scope is carried out by putting a cable inside the drain from the main located inside the house. The cable is then taken all the way to the municipal sewer or the septic tank. At the end of the cable, there is a tiny camera that scopes the interior portion of the sewer and relays back on a screen the actual position of the drain. It is able to detect blockages, breaks and clogs inside the sewer. The images that the sewer scope sends back through the cable are digitally recorded and can be viewed several times by a prospective buyer of the house enabling him to examine the inside of the drain and if it is working properly.
Sewer scopes can unforgettable each and every trouble that may be brewing inside the sewer. This helps in planning and carrying out remedies for these problems. In case the sewer scope reveals a trivial problem, it can be solved with the help of a rooter service. However, in a few cases, the sewer scope may report a problem that would demand replacement of the entire sewerage line.
Sewer scopes can prove exceptionally useful for a potential buyer of a particular property. A sewer scope will enable him to know exactly how the sewerage line of the house is working, and if it is suitable to buy the house or not.
