The purpose of a home inspection is to look at safety, quality and the overall condition of things both visible and not so visible. Most home inspectors look at the structure, foundation, electrical systems, plumbing systems, roofs, attics, basements, crawl spaces, gutters, drainage, walls, floors, ceilings, porches, decks, the property and home site. If you are not a trained expert in all of these areas you may not be able to see a hidden issue. Some examples of some very visible things that you may not be able to see: Can you find faulty wiring? Do you know how a dryer should be properly vented? Can you identify a toilet that needs to be replaced? Do you know how to tell if the fireplace is unsafe or needs replacing? Do you know what to look for to see if the tiles in the bathroom have been properly installed?
With so many real estate buffs and Do-It-Yourselfers out there, it’s even more important to have a professional take a look at your new home and make sure that things have been done properly. The cost of a home or real estate inspection can easily pay for itself and helps you determine if you are paying a fair price for the property. If the home has several repairs that need to be done, you might be able to negotiate with the seller and have them contribute to the cost of these repairs or have them do the repairs. No piece of real estate is perfect, but the goal is to make sure the home you are interested in buying doesn’t have any existing costly defects. Buying real estate is a very important decision and you want to make sure that you know exactly what you are buying.
