Expect the unexpected

Buyer Beware Data Needed
Pro Tip: Buy with Confidence
Consider running a PropertyLens report to get a detailed history of any property including prior damage, modifications and repairs, as well as, a customized BuyerLens list of findings and questions to ask the seller to fill in the knowledge gaps.
Assess Current Condition
Getting a thorough home inspection
What are home inspections?
A home inspection is a thorough evaluation of a property's condition, typically conducted by a professional home inspector. The inspection usually takes place after an offer has been accepted but before the sale is finalized. The inspector examines various aspects of the home, including the structure, electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and more.

While home inspections are a critical part of buying a property, inspectors can overlook key issues - intentionally or not. The PropertyLens Report InspectorLens is your secret weapon for getting the most out of your home inspection.

What is property insurance?
Property insurance is a type of coverage that protects homeowners against financial loss from various risks associated with their property. These risks can include damage from events like fire, theft, vandalism, storms, and other natural disasters. Property insurance typically covers the physical structure of the home, personal belongings inside the home, and liability for accidents that occur on the property.
Why It Matters
- Financial Protection: Property insurance provides a safety net by covering repair or replacement costs in case of damage to the home or belongings, helping to avoid significant out-of-pocket expenses.
- Mortgage Requirement: Most mortgage lenders require property insurance as a condition for lending. This ensures that their investment is protected in case of unforeseen events.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your home and belongings are protected against potential risks gives you peace of mind, allowing you to focus on enjoying your new home.
- Liability Coverage: Property insurance often includes liability coverage, protecting you if someone is injured on your property and decides to sue.
- Risk Management: It helps manage the financial risks associated with owning a home, ensuring that unexpected events don't lead to financial hardship.
Buyer Beware
Pro Tip: Buy with Confidence
Consider running a PropertyLens report to get key insurability factors to know ahead of time. Each PropertyLens Report includes an InsuranceLens which gives you customized premium estimates, the property risks That May Impact Premium or Require Additional Coverage and In-Depth Premium & Replacement Cost Factors to make sure your purchase is fully protected.
