Why should I have my home inspected?

If you decide to buy a home, you will need to have experienced professionals assess your home and determine if there are any issues with it. A home inspection is incredibly important because if you don’t have one done, you could be living amongst dangerous toxins like mold and lead, as well as be subject to the dangers of a poor structure. There are a number of different factors that a home inspector would look for throughout the inspection. These may include structural issues, mold, lead paint, electrical problems, plumbing issues, and more.

What happens if the inspection shows damage?

If the home inspection concludes that there are issues with the home, you may be able to request that the seller pays for some of the repairs that need to be done. For example, if there is an issue with the home’s septic system, the buyer may want to request that the seller pays for the installation of a new one before the buyer moves into the home.

The home inspector that you choose should have years of experience assessing homes and should make sure they find anything that could possibly be an issue. If you need assistance with legal matters in a real estate transaction, contact us today.
