A home inspection is a serious effort to disclose the conditions of a home. It is not designed to be a pass/fail type of inspection. It is designed to educate the buyer. Since a home inspection is objective, it is important to incorporate all aspects (both good and bad) of a house into the final report. A home inspection will give you the peace of mind and assurance that help you take positive steps toward maximizing your home's potential value. What Goes Into a Home Inspection? An inspection gives the buyer an impartial, physical evaluation of the overall condition of the home and items that need to be repaired or replaced. This inspection gives a detailed report on the condition of the structural components, exterior, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating, insulation and ventilation, air conditioning, and interiors. Be an Informed Buyer It is your responsibility to be an informed buyer. Be sure that what you buy is satisfactory in every respect. You have the right to carefully examine your potential new investment with a qualified home inspector. You may do so after signing the contract as long as your contract states that the sale of the home depends on the inspection; however, being at the inspection will be a great opportunity to learn all about your prospective new home. | |
