structure and systems of the home are uncovered during a thorough home inspection.&nbsp; Buyers should be made aware before going forward in the home purchasing process. </li> <li><strong>Informed decision making.</strong>&nbsp; No one should buy a home unaware of potentially expensive issues, especially&nbsp;when they can be addressed and dealt with upfront. </li> <li><strong>Negotiation tool.</strong>&nbsp; Depending on the particular circumstances, defects exposed on a home inspection&nbsp;are&nbsp;often&nbsp;used to negotiate repairs or repair cost settlements.&nbsp; </li> <li><strong>It's worth it!</strong>&nbsp;Very often the negotiated repair costs negotiated and received from&nbsp;the seller far exceed&nbsp;the cost of the inspection.&nbsp; While an inspection might cost several hundred dollars;&nbsp;repairs can run into thousands.</li> <li><strong>Learn about the house! </strong>Houses are complicated. An inspection will teach about the systems of the house you need to be aware of. &nbsp;You&rsquo;ll learn how to make repairs and provide needed maintained to prevent brake downs and expensive repairs. </li> <li><strong>Learn the good and bad!</strong> The inspector will point out problems and explain them to you. The inspector will also show you the good points of the house as well.</li> <li><strong>Reduce the risk!</strong> There is always considerable risk involved when making such a large purchase decision. A professional inspection will significantly reduce your risk and help make the entire home buying process easier and less stressful.</li> <li><strong>Old roofs!</strong>&nbsp; Roofs usually last 20 years and any roof over 15 years will need to be replaced soon.&nbsp; Roofs cost $5000 to $20,000 to replace.&nbsp; Why would you buy a house without realizing the age and potential cost.</li> <li><strong>Old HVAC equipment!</strong>&nbsp; AC units last 10 to 12 years and cost $5000 to $10,000 each to replace.&nbsp; Why wouldn&rsquo;t you want to know the age and potential costs of your AC units?</li> </ul> <strong>Old windows!</strong>&nbsp; Windows last 20 years and cost $400 to $500 dollars each to replace.&nbsp; Houses have 15 to 30 windows which can cost potentially $15,000 to replace.&nbsp; Why wouldn&rsquo;t you want to know the age and potential cost of window repairs in your new home?<br /> <br /> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td background="images/main_box_right_line.jpg">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="19" align="left" valign="top"><img src="images/main_box_btm_left_corner.jpg" width="10" height="8" /></td> <td background="images/main_box_btm_line.jpg" style="background-repeat:repeat-x"></td> <td valign="top"><img src="images/main_box_btm_right_corner.jpg" width="10" height="8" /></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="middle"> <span class="copyright_text">Mobile Spectrum: Copyright 2007 All Rights Reserved</span></td> <td align="right"><img src="images/footer_logos.jpg" width="318" height="53" /></td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="20">&nbsp;</td> <td width="20" background="images/right_border.jpg">&nbsp;</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-2225586-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
