Re: Condo common areas
Tim, IMHO you did the right thing.
David, that HOA disclaimer you quoted was written by the late Geoff Lunt and yours truly many years ago... It may be the most often used disclaimer employed by home inspectors across the US. I’m also a big believer in that when a disclaimer becomes common as dirt it also becomes more legally defensible. I differed from right coast Jerry during my time in the trenches in that any thing I saw as a defect in a common area while going to and from the unit to be inspected was shared verbally with my client. I also explained that only the interior of the unit in the PUD would be addressed within the body of my report. (pain to paint)
BTW, that HOA disclaimer among other things states the client should study the HOA’s reserve account plus the disclosure of any past or pending litigation. It has been my experience that most PUDs are very poorly run by HOA boards.
