2. Why get a home inspection?
A home inspection is an exam of the structure and Systems of a home. It
shows details and highlights any defects and issues with the home and helps
to determine if there serious enough to prevent the sale.
The main points of the inspection will be the physical condition of the
property, remaining life of major systems (air/electrical/plumbing e.t.c) and
items in need of repair.
It is advisable to be present during a home inspection so the inspector can
point out any areas that may have issues and so you can ask the inspector
questions.
Time of an inspection varies depending on the size/age of the home but can
take 1-5 hours, and cost anywhere in the range $200-$500.
Results of the home inspection and the cost of any repairs that are needed can
be negotiated with the seller.
You should get a recommendation from your real estate agent for a good
local home inspector.
