Home inspections are a very important step when buying a new home and it is important to understand the basics before entering the process. After choosing a home to purchase and going under contract one of the first steps is setting up a home inspection. A qualifi ed Realtor will undoubtedly know an experienced home inspector but it doesn’t hurt to do some research on your own and locate an inspector with an excellent track record and references.
Don’t get hung up on the cost of your home inspection. Inspections can vary by the size of a home but typically average somewhere in the three to four hundred dollar range. Choosing an inspector based on price could hurt you in the long run and the inspection is one expense you do not want to skimp on.
A written inspection report is a key element in the home inspection process, allowing you to see what needs repair. A good inspector should be able to provide you with estimates for the needed repairs or at the very least be able to recommend where you can get them.
A home inspection is an important piece of the home purchasing puzzle. Take your time and use your Realtor to help you through the process.
