Home Inspections
According to your Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate, you have the opportunity to have the home inspected by a professional before closing. You can avoid, or at least anticipate, costly repairs to structural or mechanical systems. The sales contract specifies that the inspection will take place soon after the offer is accepted and that settlement is contingent upon satisfactory inspection.
The inspection requires specific technical skills. You may be familiar with common problems, but a professional home inspector can give you a better overview of the entire structure of the house and its potential problems. If at all possible, accompany the inspector who examines your house. The inspection process generally lasts about two hours. They can also point out special items like those listed below:
- On/off switch on furnace, air conditioner, etc.
- Pilot light on hot water heater, oven, etc.
- Fuse box
- Main water shut-off controls
- Foundation
- Floor
- Walls and partitions
- Roof
- Windows and doors
- Plumbing system
- Electrical system
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
- Septic tank, well, or sewer line
- Sprinkler system
- Garage door remote control operation
- Appliances
If you are concerned about issues such as water, radon and mold, discuss these with your home inspector. He may be able to do testing for you, or can refer you to someone who can.
