 Quality Assurance Services IsraelDid you know that almost no one outside of the contractor inspects most new building in Israel?
NO City Inspector reviews construction during construction as with most western countries? (known as the 4 phase inspection process).
Before you buy inspect with an independent expert before an offer is made. (we are not appraisers but qualified independent construction engineers).
Know anyone who is planning to buy in Israel? Send them a note that could save them real money.
Before you decide buy or rent in Israel, have the structure inspected by an independent qualified construction engineer, not an appraiser. Too many problems have been found in the construction field in Israel so don't be fooled into believing that all is well because the owner or real-estate agent dose not mention any problems (there is no full disclosure law in Israel).
Quality Assurance and Assessment Services helps prospective real-estate customers review new and used homes for quality of construction, durability, design and function completely free of outside influence which hampers the competition (we are not a real-estate brokerage with a side line).
For new homes we review construction to be sure you receive the work you have contracted for.
Save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by finding the defects before buying your dream home. These items are used in the bargaining process. Our web site enables you to understand why you need a Quality Assessment before a purchase agreement is entered into.
Q: Would you buy a used car without taking it for a review by a qualified mechanic? Q: Would an insurance company insure you without a physical before hand? Q: Would you invest $500,000 in the equity markets without a broker?
A: No. So why would spend $700,000 or more to buy a new or used home without sending a qualified inspector before hand? (Price= + - 0.65% )
Many do not fully appreciate the need for both new and pre-owned home reviews and suffer legal, economic and emotional distress due to inexperience or deliberate deception by both contractors and homeowners.
What others are saying in the US.
In the past few years there has been an increased demand for apartment inspections prior to closing real estate deals. Avi Bar-Eli: CO: Haaretz.com |
I was surprised when I was building in Israel that no inspector ever came around to give any kind of approval of our work. We could have built the houses any way we wanted to. I agree that this country is in need of better building practices and more protection for the buyer. Yonatan C....: Carpenter Israel |
Often I have clients that want to purchase an apartment and /or a house and but they don't know which way to go. Now there is an alternative. Irwin Judy K.... Israel |
Consumers seeking pre-owned homes need to understand that they are a risk during the evaluation stage. Home buyers all over the US have been using professional home inspections as a tool to justify costs, lower risk and increase leverage when problems are found. Once on record it is mandatory that the seller give complete disclosure to all potential buyers.
New home buyers in Israel are at risk from contractors who for whatever reason believe or at least pretend their work is "grade A quality" all the while doing what many in the industry call "avoda-aravi" which roughly translated means "bad workmanship". Customers have come to realize that just because the contractor says so doesn't make it so. Contractors need supervision to prevent defects from accumulating on the job site. Some larger firms have started using QC personnel, but this only adds to the problem.
A increasing concept in the Israel home properties development field, the idea of inspection before buying is gaining strength in the Israeli residential properties market in cities like Caesaria, Saviyon, Tel-Aviv, Efrat, Jerusalem and other locations where upscale / upper-end homes and apartments costing from 2 to 5 million dollars are now being sold.
Review / Inspection services (not appraisers) are used in the US and other western countries to qualify homes for the potential buyer before negations for the structure begin. In Israel the inspection process has been completely left to the quality control person hired by the builder during initial construction phase, this inherent conflict of interest has show itself time and again and needs to be addressed.
