You may be asking yourself, "Why do I need an inspection? This home looks to be in great shape."
A WORD OF CAUTION
Both financially and emotionally, your new home is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. You will enjoy many years of happiness...if you have chosen wisely. At first glance it may appear to be in great shape, but it may contain a defect that you should be aware of. Certain problems you could live with, but others could be financially devastating. In making a decision of this magnitude, make it with confidence. Have your new home inspected by a licensed inspector before you close.
A home inspection gives the buyer more detailed information about the overall condition of the home prior to purchase. In a home inspection, a qualified inspector takes an in-depth, unbiased look at your potential home to:
- Evaluate the physical condition: structure, construction, and mechanical systems;
- Identify items that need to be repaired or replaced; and
- Estimate the remaining useful life of the major systems, equipment, structure and finishes.
Keep in mind that not all companies inspect all of the aspects of the home. When making a decision as to what company you would like to use, find out if their inspection covers:
- Structural & Mechanical
- Termite
- Well & Septic System
- Swimming Pools & Equipment
It is your responsibility to be an informed buyer. Be sure that what you buy is satisfactory in every respect!
