Your New Home
Finding
a new home can be exhilarating, but nothing's worse than buying your
dream house, moving in, and finding out that there are serious issues.
So make sure your experience is a positive one, all the way through,
with home buyer inspection services from Complete Home Inspection, LLC.
You'll
know the condition of your prospective new home and will be able to
make an informed decision, offer the right price, know what to expect
once you move in and what to plan for in the years to come.
With
a home inspection, you'll receive a detailed, comprehensive report that
explains the condition (both positive and negative) of the home's
structural elements, major systems and components. Our friendly,
knowledgeable and experienced home inspectors will answer any questions
you may have about your home, during the inspection process or anytime
afterwards, so you can make your purchasing decision with confidence.
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical
structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation.
Do I have to be there?
While it’s not required that you be present for the inspection, it is
highly recommended. You will be able to observe the inspector and ask
questions as you learn about the condition of the home and how to
maintain it.
What if the report reveals problems?
No house is perfect. If the inspector identifies problems, it doesn’t
mean you should or shouldn’t buy the house, only that you will know in
advance what to expect. If your budget is tight, or if you don’t want to
become involved in future repair work, this information will be
important to you. If major problems are found, a seller may agree to
make repairs.
Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:
1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.
