Condo & Townhouse Inspections in South Florida

Buying a condo or townhouse is not the same as buying a single-family home, and the inspection should not be either. In most condo communities the association maintains the roof and exterior, which means your inspection focuses on everything inside your unit - the systems you own and will pay to repair. 4 Eyes Home Inspections LLC performs condo and townhouse inspections across South Florida, from high-rises on the coast to townhome communities inland, and delivers a photo-documented Spectora report the same day in most cases.

 

We inspect the systems and components that belong to the unit:

 

• Electrical - panel, breakers, outlets, and visible wiring inside the unit

• HVAC - the unit's air handler and condenser, age, condition, and cooling performance

• Plumbing - fixtures, drains, water heater, and shut-offs, checked for leaks and corrosion

• Kitchen and laundry appliances - basic operation of the appliances that convey with the sale

• Interior - walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors, checked for moisture intrusion and damage

• Balconies and sliding doors - operation, seals, and water intrusion points, where accessible

 

Why condo buyers still need an inspection

 

A condo inspection regularly turns up the expensive surprises of condo ownership: an AC system at the end of its life, a leaking water heater over a neighbor's ceiling, polybutylene or corroded plumbing, and water intrusion around sliders and windows. In a townhouse, the scope widens to include more of the structure you own. We also document the unit's four insurance systems - roof responsibility aside, insurers frequently ask condo owners for 4-Point information on electrical, plumbing, and HVAC - so your report is ready if your agent asks.

 

How it works

 

1. Call, text, or book online - tell us the unit address and any association access requirements.

2. We inspect the unit on site, photographing every system and finding.

3. You receive your detailed Spectora report the same day in most cases, and we review the findings with you before we leave.

 

Frequently asked questions

 

How is a condo inspection different from a full home inspection?

The scope follows ownership. A full home inspection includes the roof, exterior, and structure; a condo inspection concentrates on the interior systems the unit owner maintains, because the association typically covers the building exterior and roof.

 

Does my condo association need to approve the inspection?

Usually you only need to arrange access to the unit and any locked utility areas. If your association has specific access rules or hours, tell us when you book and we will work within them.

 

How long does a condo inspection take?

Most condo inspections take about 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the unit; townhouses can take longer.
