Home Inspection

A home inspection is a crucial part of the selling process for any piece of real estate. The larger and more complicated the property is, the more detailed this inspection must be. Typically, when an offer is presented on a property, that offer is subject to an inspection by a qualified home inspector. Once the property is duly examined, the inspector will make recommendations as to the condition of the residence in a customized report. The potential buyer will then decide whether or not to proceed with the purchase of the property, as planned, re-negotiate the offer or forgo the home altogether.

Home Inspection Facts

Home Inspection A home examination should always be carried out by a professional inspector. In most states and many countries this profession is tightly regulated by the government, with licensure and educational requirements in full effect. This is extremely advantageous to prospective buyers, since a home examination is a specialized service and does require a knowledgeable expert. Inspectors are not supposed to recommend whether or not a purchaser should buy the house or not, but instead are there to reveal any problematic issues and allow the buyer to make up their own minds, as educated consumers.

Real Estate Inspection Details

A home examination will look at all the important features of a property. The inspector will check the house outside and inside and pay particularly close attention to many of the utility systems in the home. A usual home examination will cover the following property facets:

* The roof and chimney

* The foundation of the home

* The windows and doors

* Water drainage around the property and land grading

* The basement and attic

* All the living spaces

* Secondary structures on the property

* Heating and cooling systems

* Plumbing

* Electric service, including the panel and fixtures

* Home appliances

* Structural integrity of the home itself

* The utility service leading to the home, including sewers, electric and natural gas


Home Inspection Advice

Agreeing to purchase a home without an inspection is like Russian Roulette. You might just be setting yourself up for a real disappointment and possible financial disaster. Some bargain properties are sold without express or implied warranty (“AS IS” condition)… These are "bargains" for a reason and unless you have access to professional contracting and home improvement services for low cost, should be avoided like the plague…

A property inspector is another of the many safety nets built into the real estate buying process. As a seller, it is your job to cooperate with the inspector and fix any issues which are found. If not, the word about the results of your inspection will make the rounds FASTER THAN LIGHTNING among local real estate agents, making the sale of your home at the asking price a near impossibility.
