Buying a home? Yes, we know buying a home can be exiting, momentous, and meaningful. But the process can become very stressful quick. Particularly, for the first-time homebuyers. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, photographs, environmental reports and what the Inspection Company has to say during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do? Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories: |
Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example. Things that may hinder your ability to finance or insure the home. Safety hazards, such as a Federal Pacific Electric panel. |
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property (especially in categories 2 and 4). Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. That's where the professionals at Prime Home Inspection come in. While you focus on the home's style, size layout, price and neighborhood, we can take care evaluating its major systems- like the plumbing, heating, and electrical. Making sure you have all the information before you make such a significant decision simply makes sense. Count on Prime Home Inspection to give you the unbiased, professional inspection you need, when you need it. Thank you. We forward to hearing from you. |
