Most buyers have a home inspected by a home and structural pest control ("termite") inspector. Additional inspections recommended, such as for roof or drainage, should also be done.Ideally, you want to know not only the severity of a defect, but how much it will cost to repair. An item that is often overlooked during buyers' inspections is the permit history on the house. Many times a new homeowner will apply for a permit to do some work on their home and when they apply at the city building department, they find out that previous owners took out permits that were still outstanding with no record of final approvals given. The permit request will be denied by the city. This happens all the time. The homeowners then have to do all of the work that all of the previous permits covered, get the city to inspect the work performed, then get final approval. This can cost the new homeowner thousands of dollars for repairs not even counting the time and disruption it can cause.While you're checking out the permit situation, be sure to research if any back fees are owed against the property for past permits or anything else.

I grew up in El Segundo and remember when CJ Bret went to high school here and went on to become a some-what legend in the professional baseball world. The El Segundo high school has been used since then in so many movies and became famous itself for its traditional high school looks. Our city has grown tremendously adding many apartments, condos, townhomes and many new custom built single family homes that encompass El Segundo Real Estate but still remains a single family home type of community with traditional neighborhoods, hilly tree lined streets and a quaint village type of downtown.

The real estate in El Segundo is located in cozy and quiet neighborhoods that have beautiful all American homes, situated on tree lined streets.The great majority of the single family homes have two and three bedrooms, however there are some older wonderful smaller cottage type homes.
