Home Inspections Winthrop | Home Inspector (507) 721-0818
If you’re planning on buying or selling a mobile (manufactured) home, then a home inspection is invaluable in making sure the right decisions are being made and that the transaction can go smoothly and not fall apart. Buying a mobile home can be a somewhat tedious process. This often is the case because there may not be any banks, dealers or real estate people involved looking out for the buyer.
Manufactured homes are very different then a single family home and there are specific components that need to be assessed when it comes to a manufactured home compared to a single family home. Because manufactured homes are more susceptible to deterioration and damage, a properly done mobile home inspection is imperative when making a decision to buy.
If you’re going to invest in a manufactured home, either to live in or investment purposes, you will want to protect yourself by having it professionally inspected. The old adage “you don’t know what you don’t know” certainly comes true when considering the purchase of manufactured homes.
Knowing the condition of the home prior to moving in can:
- Give you peace of mind knowing that all the systems in the home are functioning as intended.
- Alert you to systems that need repair and give you the power to negotiate a better price for the home because of the defects in the home.
- Give you the knowledge that the home may need more work than you’re willing to take on and walk away from a bad deal.
Our inspector will do a visual inspection of the following areas of the manufactured home:
- Roof
- Floors
