Home Inspections – Why You Should Never Skip It

When it comes to buying a home, before the deal gets closed a potential homebuyer should always have it inspected. This means having it checked thoroughly from top to bottom. What could they be inspecting?

Foundation – For newer homes, the foundation may not be a big deal; however, for older ones or homes in areas where earthquakes, flooding and other natural disasters may be common thefoundation could be jeopardized. The last thing a new homeowner wants to have to deal with after a home purchase is issues with the home.

Moulds and water damage – Know what lies behind the paint of the master bedroom? A thorough inspection can make sure that the home is free from an asbestos, mould or hidden damages. When a home has experienced any major damages or upgrades, a potential buyer has to be informed of such repairs or upgrades.

Home inspections can sometimes be done before an actual buyer has shown interest – typically a sign of being proactive; however, it does not hurt to spend that extra $200 or so to have an inspection done by someone the homebuyer has chosen.

Buying a home is an investment – it’s important to do what you can to ensure you protect yourself and mitigate any potential costly errors.
