As you may know from experience, a successful real estate closing is often contingent on the home inspection. Buyers want to know as much as possible about the home that could become their largest asset, and guard against costly surprises after they've signed the closing documents. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions: What exactly is a home inspection? A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from the roof to the foundation. When problems or symptoms of problems are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation or remedies, making the cost of the home inspection well worth the investment. What does a home inspection include? A standard home inspection report summarizes findings from a visual inspection of the condition of the property and covers the following: Exterior Home Site Building Foundation Exterior Walls Windows Roof Coverings, Flashings & Ventilation Skylights Fireplaces & Chimneys Gutters & Downspouts Roof Support Structure Attic Insulation Quality Garage Electrical Visible Interior & Exterior Plumbing Central Cooling & Heating Systems Interior Condition of the Home
During the home inspection, we concentrate on the condition and structure of the home and point out any safety concerns observed. Buyers should not expect the home inpsection report to include the condition of every nail, stud, pipe or wire in the home, nor can we inspect what we cannot see. Our focus is identifying any adverse conditions and/or safety-related concerns. Minor and cosmetic items are considered obvious and clear to the buyers.
