How can you be sure that the property does not have hidden issues that would require costly repairs or improvements after the keys have been handed over to you? • A certified inspector's home inspection could disclose major problems with the property that you would like to know about before signing the contract.
Why is it necessary to have an inspection done? • The same reason you'd take a used car to a mechanic to make sure you get a decent price before buying it. • It is a big investment to buy a house. • It makes sense to know as much about what you are having as you can. This is why you're calling an expert. • Expert home inspections can expose problems that are hidden from "untrained eyes." • With a pre-listing inspection, pro-active sellers may enhance marketing power. • Until closing, most buyers want to know that there are no big problems.
What sort of things should be on the home inspection checklist? • There are fairly standard HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), roof, electrical, plumbing (and) foundations. • Inspections of mold and radon are becoming more common. • Prior to closing, any device or structure that the buyer has questions about should be checked out. • You can inspect specific systems, such as the electrical system, the roof or the boiler, or you can have a whole inspection of the house where the inspector can go from the roof to the basement or crawl space and look at everything in between.
Who should conduct the home inspection, and why? • Choose a reputable home inspector who is a member of an organization that has guidelines and a code of ethics for home inspection. • You want a comprehensive and trustworthy inspector, particularly in the event that there are problems that cause further negotiations.
Who pays for the home inspection? • I recommend a pre-listing inspection for buyers, usually a whole house and sewer. • This way, before pricing and placing their home on the market, they can detect and fix any major problems. • The seller pays, in this situation. • Most of the contract requires the buyer to pay for the inspections, but the issue is subject to negotiation. • What inspections the buyer needs in the contract when making a bid, which will conduct the inspection and estimate the cost.
