Home Inspection: What it is and Why It's a Good Idea for Home Buyers

If you’re going to drop your hard-earned money on a new home you want to know it’s in good condition – or at least what you may need to fix after you move in. An inspector assesses key elements such as the heating and cooling systems; plumbing and electrical, the roof, attic and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; foundation, basement and visible structure. The inspector will also look for cracks in cement walls, water stains that indicate leakage, and any signs of wood rot.

In a ‘normal’ market you can make the inspection a condition of the sale, ensuring opportunity to negotiate for any repairs or price reductions but in a hot market many buyers either conduct an inspection BEFORE making the offer or rely on the seller’s pre-inspection report. Either way, it’s good to have an inspection so you can make an informed decision on whether and how to proceed.
