To make sure. Problems with the structure and systems of the home are uncovered during a thorough home inspection. Buyers should be made aware before going forward in the home purchasing process.
Informed decision making. No one should buy a home unaware of potentially expensive issues, especially when they can be addressed and dealt with upfront.
Negotiation tool. Depending on the particular circumstances, defects exposed on a home inspection are often used to negotiate repairs or repair cost settlements.
It's worth it! Very often the negotiated repair costs negotiated and received from the seller far exceed the cost of the inspection. While an inspection might cost several hundred dollars; repairs can run into thousands.
Learn about the house! Houses are complicated. An inspection will teach about the systems of the house you need to be aware of. You’ll learn how to make repairs and provide needed maintained to prevent brake downs and expensive repairs.
Learn the good and bad! 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.
Reduce the risk! 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.
Old roofs! Roofs usually last 20 years and any roof over 15 years will need to be replaced soon. Roofs cost $5000 to $20,000 to replace. Why would you buy a house without realizing the age and potential cost.
Old HVAC equipment! AC units last 10 to 12 years and cost $5000 to $10,000 each to replace. Why wouldn’t you want to know the age and potential costs of your AC units?
Old windows! Windows last 20 years and cost $400 to $500 dollars each to replace. Houses have 15 to 30 windows which can cost potentially $15,000 to replace. Why wouldn’t you want to know the age and potential cost of window repairs in your new home?
