When buying a home, you should always have a professional home inspection performed. You need to know exactly what you are getting. The professional home inspection will reveal any hidden problems with the home so that they may be addressed before you close the deal. This will make your buying decision much easier and you more confident.
When we inspect the home we will look at the systems that make up the building such as:
Structural elements, foundation, framing etc...
Plumbing systems
Roofing
Electrical systems
Cosmetic condition, paint, siding etc...
Your inspection report will give you an idea of what needs to be repaired and what routine maintenance tasks you should perform to keep the house in good condition.
You should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer. Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency. Then, arrange for an inspector of your choosing to come inspect the house and pay close attention to the inspection report. If you aren't comfortable with what we find you are better prepared to take the next step. If repairs are needed those tradesmen may need to provide cost estimates. With the help of all parties involved you may be able to negotiate or make other arrangements for any issues or areas of concern.The professional home inspection will reduce the risk of costly surprises with what is likely to be the largest purchase you will ever make. It helps you to make a more informed, more comfortable decision.
A large part of our job at All Season Home Inspections is educating our clients on the workings and maintenance of the home. For first time home buyers this can seem like an impossible undertaking, but with time and a little bit of knowledge you will be so comfortable in your new home it will feel as if you had grown up there.
