Inspections of Foreclosed Homes
Performed by Licensed Professional Engineers

When buying a foreclosed home, a Heimer inspection is your best protection!People choose to buy real estate based on factors including location, appearance, style, value, etc.  Few people make a purchase decision based only on condition.  It is easy to say "I’ll fix that," or "All this house needs is a coat of paint."

Many foreclosed homes have suffered from lack of maintenance.  Prior to foreclosure, the previous owner may have ignored needed maintenance.  Some homeowners may have vandalized the house just prior to the foreclosure.

After a house has been foreclosed, it usually sits vacant.  During the winter, pipes may freeze if the house is not properly winterized.  Year round, the house may be vandalized.  Metal components of the house may be taken and sold for scrap.

Having a pre-purchase home inspection performed by a Licensed Professional Engineer who provides an expense analysis in the engineering report is essential.  Call 800.605.1500 or use the online form 24/7 to get more information

Expense Analysis

It is of little use to know that a problem or defect exists unless you also know what it is going to cost you to correct the problem.  An expense analysis is useful for planning and for negotiating adjustments to the sale price.  The engineering report prepared by Heimer Engineering includes an expense analysis.  Look at the sample engineering report below:
