Pool Inspection:
Before you can dive into purchasing a house with a pool, you should have the pool inspected. Whether or not you have previously owned a property with a pool or a spa, it is important to arrange for a full evaluation of the condition of your future pool just like a house undergoes a professional home inspection prior to closing. This inspection is a separate expense but having peace of mind makes that expense worth it. The last thing a homeowner wants is huge expenses after buying a new home.
A thorough pool inspection will go over major pool systems and components such as:
-
Visible plumbing systems
-
Visible electrical and grounding systems
-
Spas
-
Filtration systems
-
Operational Conditions
-
Safety barriers, fences, and decking
-
Screen enclosures and doors
-
Pool heaters, pumps, motors, and valves
-
Pool skimmers, drain covers, lights, steps, handrails, and ladders
-
Rescue equipment
-
Permanent accessories
-
Physical condition of the pool structure, interior, and materials (Surface, wall, tile, liner, and floor)
A swimming pool inspection will ensure that you’re not buying a pool that is in need of too many repairs. Once the inspection is completed, the inspector will include all details and findings along with the home inspection report. That way, the home buyer will know what is in need of repairs or replacement prior to closing.
​
Several problems associated with a swimming pool could need simple or major work repairs. For this reason, having a pool and spa inspection will be an important factor in negotiating the price of your future home. If the home interests you, but the pool inspection report is deceiving, the major issues could be fixed by the seller or you might get a better deal on the home price. From there, your agent will help you with negotiation.
