We understand the struggles of dealing with a competitive property market. When accuracy and time are factored in, it’s important you get all of the information needed upfront. But don’t worry, at Lane & Associates, we can help you COPE!
CONSTRUCTION
Verification of the construction type prior to binding will prevent any issues when the inspection is reviewed. Some buildings will have multiple types and a percentage of each should be noted.
Fire Resistive = reinforced concrete with metal studs
Know your square footage. This will help us make sure the property valuation is reasonable. Understand the age of your property. When were the systems updated (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof)
OCCUPANCY
What will the building be used for? What type of occupant will use the space? List all occupancies if it is a multi-use building. Be sure to confirm if any flammables are being stored.
PROTECTION
Look for promising safety features in the property such as: sprinkler systems, alarms and fire extinguishers.
