What is a Buyers Inspection? Most first-time homebuyers don't realize that they are responsible for the inspections. This means that, to go to the settlement table, they agree to hire the home inspector, have the inspections completed within a reasonable amount of time, and be responsible for the cost. The home inspector essentially works for you, the Buyer to point out all the potential problems in the home.
The Home Inspection should include (per the American Society of Home Inspectors)
- Foundation and basement
- Any additional structural components
- Interior plumbing systems
- Interior electrical systems
- Heating and cooling systems
- Condition of windows
- Condition of doors and door frames
- Condition of floors, walls, and ceilings
- The attic and any visible insulation
Did you know that most home inspectors recommend that buyers attend their property inspection? We see it as an opportunity to thoroughly answer any questions that the buyers may have about the property's condition. We will try and provide instructions on how to maintain the property after your settlement.
