Why have a home inspection?
Inspection of new and re-sale homes began in the 1970's in direct response to home buyers wanting to learn about the condition of a house prior to purchase. A unique discipline, an unbiased professional who will provide an opinion on the condition of a property and provide you with relevant information.
An experienced Home Inspector will make a visual inspection of the accessible internal and external aspects of the property. This will include areas such as surface grading and drainage, roofing, insulation, ventilation, chimneys, exterior finish, windows and doors, structural integrity, foundation, and electrical. A home inspection is meant to relieve your worries, or confirm your worst fears. It can provide you with information on any potential purchase.
A detailed and thorough home inspection by a qualified and professional Home Inspector is money well invested, and should not be viewed as an unnecessary expense, but a valuable tool. |
