by | Oct 1, 2013 | Home Inspection

The best thing you can do during your home buying process is to hire the professional services of a qualified home inspection company. Don’t be fooled thinking that you don’t need a home inspection service because you have just bought a new home. Even newly built homes make the news and will often have issues of some kind which will need sorted.

Having a professional check your home and its current condition will give you the vital information that you need to either push on with closing the deal or decide on not signing at all. Buying a home is a massive investment and will cost you enough of your hard-earned cash. What you don’t want to be doing is paying out thousands more in repairs and upgrades, especially when these issues could have been found earlier in the buying process. This would allow you to either ask the seller to hire a contractor to fix the repairs and foot the bill or lower their asking price to allow you to afford the repair costs.

Don’t cut corners and hold back in paying out $300-$400 dollars in your attempt to hire a home inspector. Remember like all things in life you get what you pay for. If you want high quality inspection services, then pay what you need to (within reason).  Paying a little amount of cash now could be the difference to you paying 10 or maybe 20 times that amount in repairs, which would quickly turn the home of your dreams into a nightmare.
