Home Inspections

You might have spent days and months before you came upon your dream house that you have always wanted to buy. Your new home ownership must be filling you with excitement and you are happy too about the entire deal. But before you close the deal have you had your home inspected by professionals to ensure that it is free of all faults and repairs? Of course nobody will like to spend money on repairs after purchasing a house.

Pre-sale inspection of the house before buying is as important as the medical examination of a candidate is done before a job to ensure whether the candidate is medically fit for the job or not. Getting your house inspected by professionals before purchasing will also ensure whether the property that you are about to purchase is worth the amount or not. You will be saved from any unpleasant surprises in the near future.

Many buyers do the pre- sale inspection themselves rather than taking the service of a professional thinking it will save them the expense which they can invest somewhere else. But practically there are scenarios that can be better studied by the professionals only rather than us. They do not realize that when they are making such a big investment in buying a house what difference can a small service charge make. And moreover if as a buyer you cannot afford a service charge of a pre-sale inspection then you should not even think of investing in a house.

As a seller if you get your house inspected then it can help you quote a realistic price depending upon the condition of your house which again the buyer can agree easily. This will eventually help you to close the deal fast. Also as a buyer it is better if you know the potential defects of the house before purchasing it rather than knowing about them after moving in. A pre-sale inspection should be done not just of old houses but also of new houses and renovated houses.

Home inspection can be done of the home structure. The cracks or bulges on the walls, the flooring, the roofing, the corners all tell about the home structure of the property. A professional will easily make out the defaults which normally we cannot find. Imagine how much expense it will be to fix the repairs?

The water system is very important to inspect. You must checkout the drainage system of the house. Mold or decay in the walls indicate drainage problem. You can also checkout the basement for the same. Also important is the internal water fixtures and their condition.

Pre-sale inspection of the electrical and heating fixtures is equally important. You will need a professional here. Make sure all the wirings are correct and the house is properly wired to meet your electrical and heating requirements. If the pre-sale inspection does not match your expectation you can always amend the price offered. After all investment in property is a big commitment and you do not want to regret your decision later.
