The purchase of a Home is probably
the largest single investment you will ever 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 minimize unpleasant
surprises and difficulties afterwards.
A Home Inspection is an objective visual
examination of the physical structure and systems of a Home, from
the roof to the foundation. Having a Home inspected is like giving
it a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector
may recommend further evaluation.
The standard Home Inspector's report
will review the condition of the Home's heating system, central air
conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and
electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls,
ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, and visible
structure.
Of course, a Home Inspection also points
out the positive aspects of a Home, as well as the maintenance that
will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After the Inspection,
you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are
about to purchase |
