With a quality inspection report in hand, buyers have a \u201cuser\u2019s manual\u201d for their new home. They\u2019ll know if an outlet needs to be replaced, if the chimney is allowing gas to backflow into the house, or if the roof is leaking. They\u2019ll also know that the outlet and chimney problems can be fixed with inexpensive parts from the hardware store and that the roof needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. That\u2019s information you need and can use.<\/p>\n
What buyers don\u2019t need is a telephone-book thick report full of nit-picky details that fills their hearts and minds with dread and contributes to the general unease about the home. No home is perfect; every house has problems. Savvy buyers know this. Smart buyers have also probably seen many of those unimportant problems themselves as they\u2019ve walked through the home.<\/p>\n
Critical Info for Buyers<\/h3>\n
What buyers need to know is this:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Are there any safety issues? Is the foundation sinking?<\/li>\n
- Are there expensive problems that might affect the purchase price or cause second thoughts about the deal? A home that needs a new roof, foundation repairs, all new appliances, or a new HVAC system certainly deserves extra consideration.<\/li>\n
- Are there unseen problems? Home inspectors look beneath the surface to uncover invisible problems. If the house has insufficient insulation, water leaking into the crawl space, or electrical wiring that\u2019s not up to code, the inspector will find out.<\/li>\n
- What matters and what doesn\u2019t? Houses are complicated and there\u2019s always something that needs to be done. Good home inspectors educate buyers about what\u2019s important and what isn\u2019t, a perspective that\u2019s often helpful, especially to new home buyers who might think every problem is a sign that the \u201csky is falling.\u201d<\/li>\n
- What\u2019s it going to cost to own this home in the short and long term? You might not have thought about this, but a quality home inspection report is an invaluable tool for homeowners. Buying a home is expensive, but so is owning one. Home inspectors give buyers a good idea about maintenance needs on the home going forward so they can plan and budget accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
