Benefits to having a Home Inspection:
- For Buyers - Knowing the condition of the property before consummating your contract to purchase. With this information you may be able to negotiate repairs, negotiate price or, in some cases, terminate the contract.
- For Sellers - Have a home inspection before putting your home on the market and make repairs to best show your property. This gives you a competitive advantage over other homes on the market. Even if you elect not to make repairs, you will know in advance what issues a buyer's inspector is likely to discover.
- For Warranty / Homeowners - Like a medical checkup, an annual maintenance inspection or 11 month home warranty inspection will help discover developing problems before they become major issues. Most builders provide a one-year warranty for new construction. During this period of time the buyer generally develops a "punch list" of corrections for the contractor to repair under the warranty coverage. Some defects will not be obvious to the untrained eye. It is prudent to obtain our home inspectors list of items that will most likely be repaired by our builder at no cost to you. You will be reassured knowing that potential problems were addressed before they grew into something that could cost you a great deal down the road.
