It’s like giving a home a physical check-up. An objective visual examination of the physical structure, electrical and mechanical systems, and interior and exterior finishes of a home.
The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. Be sure you do your HomeWork and learn as much as you can about the condition of the property.
No house is perfect. If the home inspector finds a problem, it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t buy the house. Your home inspector will take the time to go over any concerns you have and explain all your options.
You did your HomeWork and found the house to be in good condition. You will now have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase, you will have peace of mind and can feel assured that you are making a well-informed purchase decision.
It is not necessary for you to be present for the home inspection, but for you to do your HomeWork properly it is recommended. By observing the home inspection process and asking your home inspector questions along the way you will learn valuable information about the house.
