Importance of Inspection
As
a buyer, you are entitled to know exactly what you are getting. Don't
take for granted what you see and what the seller or the listing agent
tells you. A professional home inspection is something you MUST do,
whether you are buying an existing home or a new one. An inspection is
an opportunity to have an expert look closely at the property you are
considering purchasing and getting both an oral and written opinion as
to its condition.
Beforehand, make sure the report will be done by a professional
organization, such as a local trade organization or a national trade
organization such as ASHI (American Society of Home Inspection). Not
only should you never skip an inspection, but also you should go along
with the inspector during inspection. This gives you a chance to ask
questions about the property and get answers that are not biased. In
addition, the oral comments are typically more revealing and detailed
than what you will find on the written report. Once the inspection is
complete, review the inspection report carefully.
You have to demand an inspection when you present your offer. It
must be written in as a contingency; if you do not approve the
inspection report, then you don't buy. Most real estate contracts
automatically provide an inspection contingency.
