2 PROPERTY INSPECTIONS Valle de Ticala #183, Valle Dorado, Bahia de Banderas, Nayarit Cell: SCOPE AND PURPOSE The scope of the inspection and report is a limited visual inspection of the general systems and components of the home to identify any system or component listed in the report which may be in need of immediate major repair at the time of the inspection. The inspection will be performed in compliance with generally accepted standards of practice. The scope of the inspection is limited to the items listed within the report pages. The inspector s ability to find defects is limited by inaccessible or any area which is not exposed to view, lack of information about the property and many other factors. The inspector is not required to walk on the roof. Roofs are inspected for visual condition, and signs of leaks. We do not guaranty roofs to be free of leaks. Pools are inspected for general condition. Pool leaks are not part of the inspection unless they are apparent from leaking piping. The inspection does not include any destructive testing or dismantling. Client agrees to assume all the risk for all conditions which are concealed from view at the time of the inspection. This is not an inspection to detect code compliance, safety, design or cosmetic deficiencies. The report that is issued is an opinion as to the condition of the home at the time of the inspection. This opinion is arrived at by the best technical methods available in the home inspection industry. It is still only an opinion. This is not a home warranty, guarantee, insurance policy or substitute real state transfer disclosures. Your inspector is a home inspection generalist and is nor acting as a licensed engineer or expert in any craft or trade. If your inspector recommends consulting other specialized experts, client must do so at client s expense. All items put in the check list of every chart are inspected for their proper function, poor installation, excessive wear and general state of repair, damage and deterioration. For your convenience, the following conventions were used in the report: NA NI C U R R E N T C O N D I T I O N NA: Not applicable NI: Not inspected OK: Functional/operational/serviceable D: Damaged I: Imperfections NL: Near end of lifespan M: Monitoring EV: Professional evaluation RP: Replace RE: Repair Y: Yes N: No C: Comment A D V I S E D A P P R O V E D

3 IN SUMMARY An inspection has been performed to the house La Mansion. The following conditions have been noted: In general, the house is in good physical condition. Currently the mechanical aspects of the house appear to be in working condition. However, some things need to be repaired and also some preventative maintenance needs to be done. Additional details about this items in the following check list. The house appears to be well built with no signs of structural damage or unusual cracks that might indicate a concern. With regards to the few cracks found, they mostly appear to be typical for concrete construction, and these cosmetic imperfections should not be worrisome. These cracks are not likely to represent structural defects. Also there are no signs that show foundation weakness. On the roof there is a proper waterproofing treatment which it is good condition. There is not evidence of major humidity problems found. There are a few spots of moisture found which they should not be a concern since they are not a major or excessive humidity problem. The damage areas can be treated. The tile floor throughout the house is properly glued. Most of the imperfections with finishings are cosmetic issues that appear commonly over time. All the appliances in the kitchen were checked out for proper installation. They are installed within the standards. The washer and dryer operate. The appliances in the kitchen are in serviceable condition, such as dishwasher, disposal, freezer, refrigerator, microwave, stove and hood The refrigerator is disconnected from the water supply. In the second kitchen (Casita), the freezer section is working but the refrigerator side is not working. The burners are near end lifespan. All the ceiling fans in the house are in good working condition. Windows and doors operate easily and latch properly. No broken paned glass. The hardware remains in good condition. Regarding the condition of wood in the house: Most of the wood components throughout the house is well-kept. No visible termite damage. Only a few components were found with minor deterioration. More details about the location of this issue in the following check list. The cabinetry in both kitchens is in good condition. The doors of the cabinets and drawers operate properly. Wooden doors and closets are in good condition. All the components in every bathroom like faucets, showerheads, toilets, sinks, tubs are in serviceable condition, properly installed, operate and drain properly. Adequate flow and pressure at all fixtures. A few issues were noted. For example, the aerators in all the sink faucets are missing. The pump was removed in one of the tubs, etc. Additional details about this items in the following check list. Upon the review of the mechanicals, the following was noted: Regarding the condition of the AC units; upon testing in the air conditioning mode, a normal temperature drop across the evaporators coils was observed. This suggests that the units are operating properly. It also appears the condensers, control devices in each room appear to be in good working condition. With the exception of the AC unit in the kitchen and breakfast room. The problem seems to be at the condensers. The air conditioning in the living dinning area is cooled by a typical central air conditioning system. The coil fans are operational. It also appears the condensers and the control devices appear to be in good working condition. Upon the review of the electrical installation, the following was noted: The electrical system works. The size of the electrical services is sufficient (220V). All visible wiring within the house is copper. This is a good quality electrical conductor. There is a grounding system. All switches and light fixtures that were tested operate satisfactorily. The electrical outlets are appropriately grounded. Recently the electrical system within the house was upgraded with a transformer that should reduce the power consumption.

4 No major issues were found with the plumbing. The water pressure is sufficient. The automatic hydroneumatic pump function properly. The water heaters are sufficient and in good serviceable condition. The water filter and purifier system is operational. The garden watering system is functioning. The control, the bypass valves and drippers appear to be working. The security system is not operable. The electrified wire has been removed. For more additional details, please refer to the details in the following check lists: With regards to the sewer system. Apparently there are no defects in drainage network functionality. No odors and other symptoms indicative of rupture or obstruction of the sanitation network. It was hard to access to inspect in detail the septic tank. However it was reported that the septic tank has regular maintenance every six months and is said to be in good service. The bathrooms in the sand-scaped terrace below the pool are plumbed to the septic tank and thus must be pumped uphill to the septic tank. At some point in time the bathrooms were remodeled and the submerged pumps were covered with tile restricting access to them for service or replacement. However, currently these extractor pumps appear to be in working order. The gas line installation is in good condition with no leaks found. The propane gas tank is fairly new. It was installed in It appears to be in very good condition. The pool appears to be in acceptable condition. However, there is a small leak under the infinity canal where water is seen to be seeping through. Also There is a noticeable leak in the wall at pool mechanical room where a rusting cable or metal rod perforates the wall. These types of small leaks are easily treated. The pool mechanicals have been inspected to ensure proper operation. The mechanical equipment and components appear to be in good working condition. The pool heaters are functioning however, only one of the thermostats is working, thus making it necessary to turn that heater on with the switch. Also, both pool heaters are located within the pool s mechanical room and they may function more productively if they are located outside.
