Should I Use a Home Inspector? |
When you get an offer on your home, the buyer has the option of either requiring a home inspection or not. Most buyers will pay for this inspection themselves and will make the offer contingent upon their findings. Based on the following you might consider getting your own home inspection before marketing the home: 1. Getting an impartial pre-sale report increases buyer confidence. 2. It could help you establish a fair selling price. 3. You could be alerted to items which need repairing. 4. It could prevent delays in closing. 5. You could use it as a second opinion before authorizing expensive repairs. A good inspection will report on: Site - Fences, retaining walls, driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, landscaping, and drainage. Exterior/Substructure - Balconies, porches, chimneys, walls, trim. eaves, foundation, basement, and framing. Garage/Parking - Exterior, roof, interior, firewall, vents, doors, and laundry hook-ups Attic/Roof - Gutters, downspouts, flashing, roofing material, ventilation, and insulation.
