Know What You’re Getting With A Home Inspection

During a home inspection, the physical condition of a house is assessed to give the buyer a better idea of what they are purchasing. A professional home inspector looks for any malfunctions or defects in the systems, physical components or structure of the home. An inspection is an essential part of getting a good deal on a home you love, and we are here to ensure that you get what you bargained for.

What Do Home Inspections Cover?

A home inspection is often required before a lender will loan money for a home loan. A professional inspector should always be used in order to provide a more solid, concrete opinion about the shape of a home. As closing costs are negotiable, some lenders will lower fees if the inspection proves there are no problems with the home.

A home inspector will look closely at the following systems, and all should be included on your home inspection checklist before buying a home:

  • Plumbing
  • Electrical
  • Roof
  • HVAC
  • Paint
  • Floor surfaces
  • Doors
  • Windows
  • Foundation

They may also look for dry rot or pest infestations in the home. The land should also be examined for any problems with drainage or grading.

A home inspection is schedule by the buyer after the property is under contract. Typically, the responsibility to schedule and arrange the inspection falls to the buyer. With a reliable, professional home inspection, you can rest easy and put concerns about your future property to rest.
