A "Pre-Sale Inspection" means that it will require the seller of a home in Cerritos to have the property inspected by a city building inspector, and this is to be done prior to entering into an agreement to sell the home. The city council states that they wish to have this inspection performed in order to "protect the new owner(s) against undisclosed restrictions on the property and illegal construction additions or alterations."
In reality what the city is doing is creating a method in order to generate revenues for itself. Plain and simple.
In the state of California when a Buyer makes an offer for a residential property. The purchase contract will inform the Buyer that it is recommended that they perform a home inspection on the property they wish to purchase. Reason: to discover the same concerns the city mentions.
Further more the "Statewide Buyer and Seller Advisory," which is an additional form when making an offer, will share with the Buyer the 32 total inspections which they could/should consider performing if needed for the property they are considering.
This meeting will be held at 7PM at City Hall (18125 Bloomfield Ave. Cerritos, CA) so should you wish to voice your opion on this matter...Please do. Speak to sellers of homes in Carson or South Gate regarding this inspection. They will share with you what a typical city department can do or not do when they are needed.
