A home inspection is an absolutely essential step in the process of buying a house. It will help you understand what issues the home has, what repairs you should insist the seller makes, and even whether you should purchase the home at all. Yet many buyers are woefully unprepared for their home inspection, which could cause them to make poor decisions. Here are some things to keep in mind. Trained Professionals: The Best home inspection is nothing more or less than a visual inspection of the home by a trained professional. There is no drilling or digging, which means that hidden issues may not be uncovered. However, a skilled home inspector can recognize the signs of an emerging issue without needing to tear the home apart. Our Primary Goal: The primary goal of an elite home inspection is to identify significant defects that could affect your buying decision and the purchase price. The secondary goal is to identify parts of the house that are nearing the end of their useful life or may need non-critical repairs, allowing you to set a realistic maintenance budget.
Total Inspection Time:
The inspection should take between 1.5 and 3 hours to complete, depending on the size of the house. Your inspection should also set aside time after the inspection to go through the written report and summary with you, make recommendations, and answer questions. In addition, a good home inspector should be available to you by phone in the days, weeks, and months following the inspection. You can make the most of your inspector’s expertise by preparing in some key ways.
Being Present for the Inspection:
If at all possible, make arrangements to be present for the inspection. The face-to-face time with your inspector, inside the actual home, is invaluable. If you simply cannot be present, send someone in your stead. A trusted friend or relative who has your list of questions is the best option, but your realtor is another reasonable choice. Be sure to clear this with not only the person you are sending but also with your inspector, ahead of time. Make sure you talk to your inspector over the phone as soon as possible after the inspection is complete, while it is still fresh in his or her mind. Have the inspection report in front of you so that you can go through each item together.
