hi this is Anita from Real Estate crunch
0:11
this month I'm going to talk a lot about
0:13
Renovations in particular home
0:15
renovations or I'm going to answer the
0:17
question can I move into my home
0:19
immediately after renovation now this is
0:21
kind of an interesting question because
0:24
if you like say you move out of a place
0:26
or you bought a place you're doing the
0:28
renovations can you move back into the
0:31
home well first of all the renovation
0:33
should be completed that you know that
0:36
should be one of the factors you should
0:37
determine you shouldn't try to move in
0:39
without the paint being done or the
0:41
paint being wet or something being wet
0:43
where something could be damaged that
0:44
everything should be dry and be
0:47
undamaged but the most important factor
0:49
and crucial factor is the building
0:51
inspection and whether or not the home
0:53
has to be reinspected for you to be able
0:56
to move back in has a lot to do with the
0:59
scope and scale of the
1:01
renovations so this is something that
1:03
you will need to check to make sure that
1:06
you can legally move back in after
1:11
Renovations with the building inspectors
1:13
particularly if you are living in the
1:16
United States now if you're living in
1:17
another country this may not be an issue
1:21
it may not matter it may not be any type
1:23
of problem at all but if you are living
1:26
in the United States and it can really
1:28
make a difference and particularly
1:30
which part of the United States you live
1:32
where you're living in the United States
1:34
and what the rules and regulations are
1:36
there for the area that you live as I
1:39
have said many many times and as we've
1:42
spoken about here on this podcast one of
1:45
the difficult things about real estate
1:47
is so much of real estate the laws the
1:50
rules and regulations are localized in
1:53
fact what may be okay in one city may
1:56
not be okay in a city across the road so
2:00
you know it really can make a difference
2:01
as to which city which county which
2:04
state especially if you are in the
2:06
United States that you are in and also
2:08
what country on exactly what can be done
2:11
and what cannot be done with things such
2:14
as renovation or when you can exactly
2:17
move back in after something's been
2:20
renovated for example I know for a place
2:23
like in Vietnam this would not even be a
2:25
question there would not be any type of
2:27
real inspection that went on here other
2:30
parts of the world would be exactly the
2:31
same but in the United States if you
2:34
have done major renovation then you have
2:37
to have an inspector come in and the
2:39
building codes you know well they have
2:41
to make sure that the building is up to
2:44
code and you know that you'll have the
2:47
permits now if the building does not
2:50
pass the inspection you cannot move in
2:52
until the issues flagged or address that
2:55
becomes the main issue there that if
2:58
they are not addressed you you you
3:00
cannot simply just move back in now it's
3:04
you know it's much easier to renovate an
3:06
empty house than it is a house which is
3:09
full of furniture people are living in
3:11
you know there's some reasons why some
3:13
of the obvious reasons are are you don't
3:15
need to move things around there's less
3:17
risk of damage it's faster work it can
3:20
save you cost um it can save you time
3:23
there's going to be less disruption it
3:25
can be easier for the contractors if you
3:27
have contractors that need to go in and
3:29
out it's easier for them it's better
3:32
planning it can be safer for everybody
3:35
because you know the house is empty it
3:37
can allow you to thoroughly clean it and
3:40
it will simply be less stress so you
3:43
know all of these things can make a
3:45
difference we've written a blog post
3:46
about this so if you are sort of in this
3:49
where you're doing renovation you you
3:51
have a um a home that you are renovating
3:54
you're moved out you want to move back
3:55
in you'd like to read it we or if you're
3:58
just interested about this we' love to
4:00
have you read our blog post we'll put a
4:02
link in the description below because we
4:04
also give some ideas of some checklists
4:06
and things that you need to do when
4:08
you're looking to renovate and things
4:10
that you should look out for when you
4:12
are looking to to uh renovate a home so
4:15
you know talk about some of the key
4:17
considerations that things you need to
4:18

be better prepared and it will not be a
4:23
problem and you can move immediately
