Home Inspections
Caveat
Emptor (Buyer Beware)
Home inspections are
essential to provide you with information about needed repairs or
serious flaws, as well as peace of mind. You can even have one done on
a brand new home unless there is a builder’s warranty. Be sure to find
out which inspections are required or recommended in the area.
You can have many different systems and structural aspects examined:
-
Building Inspection
-
Septic inspection
-
Well inspection
-
Termite inspection
-
Engineer's structural report
-
Soil analysis
-
Roof inspection
-
Radon gas test
-
Asbestos inspection
-
Pool/spa inspection
-
Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI) test
My advice to you is
never buy a home without making that home subject to a professional home
inspection. The inspection can be arranged when you make an offer on
the house with a written stipulation that the offer is pending a
satisfactory report. Generally, the building inspector will examine:
-
Plumbing system
-
Heating system
-
Air conditioning system
-
Electrical system
-
Appliances
-
Construction
-
Insulation
Try to attend the
inspections. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from an expert
about construction, maintenance, and repairs that may be needed in the
future.
Note: In many areas you
can purchase (or negotiate for the seller to pay) a one-year home
warranty to insure against major repair expenses on systems deemed to be
satisfactory during inspection.
