  • How can you be sure that the property does not
    have hidden issues that would require costly
    repairs or improvements after the keys have been
    handed over to you?
  • A certified inspector's home inspection could
    disclose major problems with the property that
    you would like to know about before signing the
    contract.

Why is it necessary to have an inspection done?
  • The same reason you'd take a used car to a
    mechanic to make sure you get a decent price
    before buying it.
  • It is a big investment to buy a house.
  • It makes sense to know as much about what you are
    having as you can. This is why you're calling an
    expert.
  • Expert home inspections can expose problems that
    are hidden from "untrained eyes."
  • With a pre-listing inspection, pro-active sellers
    may enhance marketing power.
  • Until closing, most buyers want to know that
    there are no big problems.

5
What sort of things should be on the home
inspection checklist?
  • There are fairly standard HVAC (heating,
    ventilation and air conditioning), roof,
    electrical, plumbing (and) foundations.
  • Inspections of mold and radon are becoming more
    common.
  • Prior to closing, any device or structure that
    the buyer has questions about should be checked
    out.
  • You can inspect specific systems, such as the
    electrical system, the roof or the boiler, or you
    can have a whole inspection of the house where
    the inspector can go from the roof to the
    basement or crawl space and look at everything in
    between.

6
Who should conduct the home inspection, and why?
  • Choose a reputable home inspector who is a member
    of an organization that has guidelines and a code
    of ethics for home inspection.
  • You want a comprehensive and trustworthy
    inspector, particularly in the event that there
    are problems that cause further negotiations.

7
Who pays for the home inspection?
  • I recommend a pre-listing inspection for buyers,
    usually a whole house and sewer.
  • This way, before pricing and placing their home
    on the market, they can detect and fix any major
    problems.
  • The seller pays, in this situation.
  • Most of the contract requires the buyer to pay
    for the inspections, but the issue is subject to
    negotiation.
  • What inspections the buyer needs in the contract
    when making a bid, which will conduct the
    inspection and estimate the cost.
