Inspections are designed to help you understand the overall condition of a property, potentially saving you considerable time with the purchase process and hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs.
Standard Home Inspection - Areas which may be covered include lot and grounds, roofs, exterior surfaces, garage/carport, structure, attic, basement, crawl space, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, fireplace/wood burning devices, and appliance condition. Remember that your inspection rights are clearly stated in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. In some cases homes can be sold "as-is" even though an inspection may take place.
If you have particular concerns, some of these specialty inspections can take place:
- Radon Inspection
- Termite Inspection
- Asbestos Inspection
- Composition Board Siding
- Lead Paint Inspection
- On-Site Waste System Evaluation
- Pool/Hot Tub Inspection
- Private Well Flow and Potability Inspection
- Stucco Siding Inspection
- Underground Storage Tank Inspection
Obtaining the proper inspections for a home prior to purchase is one of the best ways to make a smart purchase decision and protect your investment.
