Importance of Home Inspection
Whether you’re buying your first home or planning to sell your home, a home inspection is a valuable investment. It is an objective visual examination of the structure and systems of a property, from the roof to the foundation. The standard home inspector’s report includes an evaluation of the condition of the home’s roof, attic, exterior elements (doors, windows, decks, etc.), interior plumbing and electrical systems, heating and air conditioning systems, appliances, and foundation (see Services section for a detailed list). If there are any issues found in your property, the inspector will refer you to a list of appropriate specialists or tradespeople for further evaluation.
Purchasing a home is probably the largest single investment you will make. You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you buy so that you can help prevent future problems.
A home inspection will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance you need to keep it in good shape. After the inspection, you will have better knowledge of the property you are about to purchase and will be able to make a confident buying decision.
On the other hand, if you have owned your property for a long time, a home inspection can identify problems in the making and recommend preventive measures that might avoid costly future repairs. Moreover, home sellers may opt for having an inspection prior to placing the home on the market to gain a better understanding of conditions that the buyer’s inspector may point out. This provides an opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
It is recommended that you be at the home inspection. By observing and asking questions, you will learn more about the condition of the home, how its systems work, and how to maintain it. You will also find the written report easier to understand if you’ve seen the property firsthand through the inspector’s eyes and have had the opportunity to ask questions.
No house is perfect. If the inspection reveals any issues, it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t buy the property, only that you will know in advance what to expect
