HomeBuyer Tips: Home Inspections

Homebuyer Tips

From Catherine Mitchell, The Intentional Realtor®™,

Home inspections are very beneficial in learning how the components of the home that you’re purchasing works

Before purchasing a home it’s very important that you first have it inspected by a certified home inspector.  In your initial walk through of the home, you may find that you like what you see, but a certified home inspector will check your home thoroughly in areas that you may have overlooked.

Home inspections

A home inspection will point out any issues that your potential home may have.  Knowing the property’s condition is key when it comes to making a wise decision about purchasing a home.  A home inspection is designed to inform you of the condition of the property, life expectancy of its major components, along with the maintenance and repairs that may be needed now or later.

Four main components

Home inspectors will thoroughly inspect the four main components of the home which are the roof, electric, plumbing, and heating/air conditioning.  A home inspection will also include the grounds, the foundation, the attic, walls, floors, doors, windows, and the exterior structure of the home.  The length of the home inspection can last between two and three hours depending upon the size of the home, the condition, and its age. 

The benefits 

A home inspector will look at the many different components of your home, from the rooftop, to the foundation, and everything in between.  A home inspector will document any potential defects of the home with well-crafted notes and photographs of the condition of the property that you’re thinking about buying.  It’s also somewhat important for the potential homeowner to be present during the home inspection so that he or she can ask questions and receive information about the home as the inspection happens.
