Have used Atlanta Property Inspections several times for my buyers.  Their team is always very thorough and educational for the new home owners.  Much information is shared about past/current codes, potential issues and how to have the issues repaired.  I will continue to use Atlanta Property Inspectors for future inspections, and my clients have been very happy with their services as well!

Atlanta Property Inspections came to do a pre-purchasing inspection on a home my husband and  I plan to buy! We had a very short due diligence period, but that was no issue for these guys. They fit us in their schedule on very short notice and were such a pleasure to work with. Cary and Riley came to do the inspection and did a fantastic job walking us through the inspection to let us know what they found, and suggestions on how to fix all of the issues! Shout out to Cary, for answering all of our questions and having such a great personality! We truly appreciate you guys taking the time to help us through such a very stressful time. We HIGHLY recommend this company!

I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you

The inspector was really thorough and was patient in explaining to me what he was observing. He showed me where the shutoff valve was for the water and gave recommendations on various things. The report that was provided made sense and pictures were taken of some things that were found. The inspector was also very personable which put me at ease about asking questions. Thank you, Alex and Atlanta Property Inspections!

This was our first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections, Frank Cooper was the lead inspector and he was inspecting a new construction one bedroom plus den in Alpharetta for a buyer client of ours. The inspection report was both detailed and comprehensive. We have tried out a few premium home inspection companies over the past year, looking for a good additional inspection resource, and based on our experience with Frank Cooper, I think we have found it.

WOW! I can't even make this story up. In this very crazy market (June 2021) it seemingly takes 2 week closing (sometimes with *0* days due diligence!) to purchase a home. Anyway, Frank came recommended by another very reputable inspector, and I was fortunate he came!! The home we were looking at for my mother was a 1975 build and within 1 hour of the inspector being there a FIRE from an electrical panel broke out! Frank contained the fire, and was SO calm, had his team address the matter, was in touch with the agent and homeowner. He said in over 20+ years of him inspecting homes nothing like this had ever happened. Anyway the inspection was VERY thorough and Frank handled all matters very professionally. We will be working with Frank and his team on any home inspections in the future. I highly recommend!

Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time  and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!

I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.

What Happens If You Fail Your Apartment Inspection?

When it's time to move out or renew the lease, many tenants usually go through an apartment inspection. Maintaining the integrity of the building and the welfare of the tenants is the major goal of an apartment inspection. Since the home inspector's report is quite important for owners and tenants, knowing what will happen during and after the inspection is crucial. It's also important to know what to do in case you fail these inspections. So, in this article, we will go over the things that may happen if you don't pass your inspections.

Preventing Future Leases

Some property management companies want the recommendations of a past homeowner or can call the past homeowner to see if the previous tenant left the apartment in good condition. So, if, as a tenant, you have left the apartment in an unacceptable condition, other places may not consider you as a potential tenant.

Possibility of Terminating Lease

If you consistently break the terms of the rental agreement or in extreme circumstances, this occurs. Your landlord has the right to refuse to renew your lease after it expires if an inspection reveals problems and they are not fixed. It can even go to the point where you have to leave the residence before the lease's expiration date, and in this case, you have to look for a new location to reside.

Repairs and Additional Expenses

Most of the time, homeowners or the management will want the security deposit. If things get worse, you might have to pay for replacements or repairs. Obviously, this will add to your financial load.

What Are The Things That Can Get You To Fail During A Home Inspection?

There's a good probability you won't pass an inspection if you've done any harm to the property. This covers both major impairments and normal wear and tear. For example, any holes in the walls, broken fixtures, harm to the flooring, damaged doors or windows, and damaged appliances count as harm to property. Negligence is another reason for a failed home inspection. It is likely that you will not pass your inspection if you are not taking good care of your property. Most of the time ignored leaks or clogged drains are the ones that create the most problems. Finally, any violations to your lease agreement can cause you to fail during an inspection. This covers things like smoking in a non-smoking unit, bringing in more people than is permitted, and pets in unauthorized homes.
