Home inspection

Filed Under mortgage 

An examination of the structure and mechanical systems to determine a homes safety; makes the potential homebuyer aware of any repairs that may be needed.

The Home Inspector may also suggest having further environmental testing, based on what they think may be a problem with the home or neighborhood. Some of these may include; Lead testing Asbestos testing Water testing Radon testing Carbon monoxide testing Septic inspection Formaldehyde testing

If any defects or faults are found by the inspector the lender will most likely require them to be repaired before they will allow the loan to close on the property.

Having a home inspection completed can save you thousands of dollars in unexpected structural repair bills. With any new purchase, you should always hire an independent inspection to cover the structural integrity of the home you are buying.

Some common problems that are found are: Foundation problems Roof problems Excess peeling paint Faulty or out of code wiring Excessive basement moisture

A home inspection is important to protect yourself from any mechanical or structural problems but finding an experienced, qualified, home inspector is equally important. Experienced, qualified inspectors know what to look for when inspecting a home. They can spot future problems as well as present problems with a home. So, while getting a home inspection is a great idea using a qualified home inspector is just as important.

If you do not know of a qualified home inspector then I would ask you realtor for a couple of names are you can also ask your loan officer.
