Law does not require a home inspection service during the homebuying process; it is an added service that has great benefits to both the buyer and the seller of a property. If you are considering putting your property on the market, then it is recommended to consider hiring a home inspector to check it over before you do so.
An experienced and trained inspector is needed to ensure a proper evaluation. They should follow up any completed inspection service with a written report of all problem areas. As a homeowner, having a completed report will allow you the necessary time it takes to maintenance the property before you put your home on the market.
It is always better to get any repairs fixed prior to the ‘open house’ where potential buyers view it. No one would buy a home that has a leaking roof, or has structural damage and overrun with termites or cockroaches. By having all repairs done and any insect issues treated means that you can stand firm on the value of your home and be in control of any haggling that the buyer may want to do.
As a home buyer having an inspection at the right time helps you make the best decision regarding that property and your possible future in it. It would be unwise to sign on any deal unless you have had a home inspection done and you are happy with its results and findings.
A home inspection is not obligatory in the homebuying or home selling process. Buying a home is a massive investment, you need to be sure it’s the right investment and the best way to make sure that happens is to find and hire a home inspector.
