Mobile Home and Manufactured Home Repairs

When you are planning to buy a mobile home or manufactured home, it is Highly recommended that you get a Health and safety Inspection before closing escrow. From the outward appearance, the used mobile home or manufactured home you are buying, may appear perfectly fine. The problem is, what you can’t see.

I have many examples of new home owners that decided not to have an inspection, only to discover shortly after moving in that they need all new plumbing or they need a new roof. These type of repairs can add up to thousands of dollars. To replumb an entire mobile home can cost anywhere form $2500 to $6000 depending on who you ask. A new roof can be just as expensive, if not more. These unseen items are exactly why you want a professional mobile home/ manufactured home inspector to take a look before making that final decision.
