What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a professional, objective, visual examination of the current condition of a home. Home buyers now entering the marketplace view inspections as a way to gain valuable information about what may be the biggest purchase of their lifetime. It helps them to determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies at the time of purchase.
In most cases, home inspections are performed after a sales contract, conditional upon a satisfactory home inspection, has been accepted by the seller. The inspection can usually be arranged immediately to within a few days. The home buyer is typically encouraged to attend the inspection, so that he/she can can see first hand the workings of the home. It also provides an excellent opportunity for the prospective buyer to ask questions about the home or to discuss potential changes.
Home inspections should also highlight the positive aspects of a home.
In fact, many of the home inspectors observations or recommendations help to dispel home purchaser anxieties and provide useful repair suggestions.
The home inspectors service to the purchaser is primarily one of education. The goal of the inspector is to provide the purchaser with a better understanding of the physical condition of the home in order that they can make a well-informed decision. It is also the inspectors role to keep his findings in perspective for the buyer. After the inspection is completed, a comprehensive written report in narrative style is prepared for the home buyer, documenting the results of the inspection.
The home inspection should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal code inspection, an environmental audit, or a home owners warranty.
Consumers should be very careful when shopping for a home inspector. Any home inspector or company should be properly trained and licensed. Home inspection companies that offer to do repair work, or recommend repair companies, should be avoided.
