Some of the items covered in the report include:
- Roof
- Foundation
- Floors & ceilings
- Windows
- Plumbing
- Heating
- Electric
-
An inspection will provide you with information on the condition of your home. It might identify any repairs that need to be made. It can also point out items to pay attention to, in order to prevent major repairs in the future.
-
You will be responsible for paying for the inspection.
-
It is not advised. It is important to have an unbiased third-party inspector. Professional inspectors know what to look for and will perform the inspection objectively.
Not all lenders require an inspection, but it is suggested that one be performed so there are no surprises after you have purchased your home.
An inspection should be performed prior to signing the contract for the property. This will ensure that the structure is sound, habitable and worth your investment.
A home appraisal reports on the value of a property. A home inspection gauges the condition of the structure and systems of a house. |
