Safety<\/h3>\n
The most important task of a home inspector is to identify potential safety issues with the home. Eagle Inspectors are carefully trained on identifying safety concerns such as radon leaks, mold-like substances, electrical issues, and foundation problems. All safety issues identified during the inspection need to be fully resolved before the purchase is finalized.<\/p>\n
The Big Picture<\/h3>\n
Buying a home is likely the biggest purchase you\u2019ll ever make, and it\u2019s also the most complicated. Homes are much more than floor plans, paint colors, and decorator finishes, but these surface features tend to dominate the conversation. Much more important is the overall condition of the home and the health of its many systems. A home inspection will help you see the big picture clearly so you can make a truly informed decision.<\/p>\n
As-Is Info<\/h3>\n
While we\u2019ve already touched on safety and seeing the big picture, it\u2019s worth emphasizing these points again, specifically in relation to \u201cas-is\u201d purchases. When you buy an as-is property such as a short sale or foreclosure, you assume significantly more risk than a standard purchase. Homes that have sat vacant for long or been otherwise neglected often have extensive structural and safety problems. A home inspection in these situations is critical as it\u2019s your best protection against getting into an awful situation and gives you an objective, comprehensive look at precisely what you\u2019re buying, so there are no surprises.<\/p>\n
Sketchy Additions<\/h3>\n
Another significant focus for home inspectors is looking for additions and alterations to the home and whether or not they were properly permitted and completed to code. Suppose you buy a home that has had work done that does not meet local codes. In that case, you become financially responsible for all the repercussions, which you certainly want to understand fully before signing on the dotted line.<\/p>\n
Budgeting and Planning<\/h3>\n
Buying a home is expensive, but so is owning a home. Homes need regular upkeep and maintenance. At Eagle Inspections, we provide potential buyers with a report on the condition of all the systems in the home. Our home inspection report will give you an idea of what maintenance tasks will be required in the short term and long term, so you\u2019ll know how much owning your new home will cost. With the help of a quality home inspection, you\u2019ll learn how much life is left in things like the water heater, roof, and HVAC system so you can budget for repairs or replacements and plan your financial future accordingly. We can\u2019t eliminate all surprises, but we can help you make intelligent financial decisions.<\/p>\n
Education<\/h3>\n
Your home inspector is a valuable resource for learning about your home. Our team of inspectors loves to educate clients. We suggest you plan to be present during the inspection and bring your questions. We\u2019ll talk you through what we\u2019re seeing, provide thorough explanations for any problems or concerns, and even offer some maintenance tips. We\u2019re experts in homes, and we\u2019re happy to share what we know. We\u2019ll also explain our home warranty options<\/strong><\/a> so you can add an extra layer of protection to your purchase.<\/p>\n Your bank and insurance company also have some skin in the game when it comes to a home purchase, so they can require a home inspection as a way to mitigate their risk. You might be compelled to have an inspection to proceed with the transaction.<\/p>\n While the home inspection typically takes place after an offer has been made and accepted, buyers can usually return to the negotiating table if significant issues of concern are uncovered. As a buyer, you should not expect the seller to go through the inspection report and fix every identified problem. Instead, you should use the inspection report to ask for significant items to be addressed. Safety issues, of course, need to be corrected, but expensive repairs should also be brought to the table. You can request the seller make the repairs or ask for a price concession so you can make the repairs yourself.<\/p>\n Adding a home inspection into the closing process gives you a way out of the deal if something is uncovered that makes you uncomfortable.<\/p>\n Buying a home is a big deal. It\u2019s a lot of money and where you live has a significant impact on your life. You wouldn\u2019t buy a used car without first taking it for a drive and having it looked at by a mechanic you trust, and purchasing a home is no different. A quality residential home inspection from Eagle Inspections will help you buy with confidence. You\u2019ll sleep better in your new home knowing that a member of our team inspected it.<\/p>\n Getting the most, best information about the home you\u2019re planning to buy is the smartest thing you can do.
