Buyer's Home Inspections
Buying a Home?
The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind but, depending on the findings, it may have the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information over a short period of time. Your inspection will entail a full digital written report with multiple photos, and what the inspector tells you during the inspection. All of this combined with the seller’s disclosure and what you notice yourself can make the experience overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax
We are professionals and are among the most highly trained in the industry. Most of your inspection will be related to maintenance recommendations and minor imperfections. These are good to know about.
Anything in these categories should be addressed as soon as possible. Often, a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4).
When Issues Get Urgent
01
Major defects, such as a structural failure.
02
Conditions that can lead to major defects, such as a roof leak.
03
Issues that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy, or insure the home if not rectified immediately.
04
Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live bus bar at the electrical panel.
Sellers Make Mistakes
Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. It’s important to realize that a seller is under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in your inspection report. No house is perfect. Keep things in perspective.
And remember that home ownership is both a joyful experience and an important responsibility, so be sure to call us to help you devise an annual maintenance plan that will keep your family safe and your home in top condition for years to come.
