Home inspections are one of the most important parts of buying or selling a home. The inspection report directly affects whether or not a deal will go through and the home’s price. Negotiations can be tough, and you need to know what to expect.
In this blog, we’ll cover everything included in a home inspection, why they are vital, and what to expect in the home inspection report.
What is a home inspection?
A home inspection is an objective exam by a licensed home inspector who examines the condition of the home’s structure and systems. After the inspection, the inspector provides an extensive report that includes summaries, notes, the life of major systems/equipment, and recommended repairs or replacements on red-flagged items.
A standard home inspection takes approximately two to three hours and includes an examination of the following:
- Heating system
- Central air condition system
- Interior plumbing
- Electrical systems
- Roof
- Attic and visible insulation
- Floors, walls, and ceilings
- Windows and doors
- Foundation
- Basement and structural componentsThe goal of the inspection is to provide the home buyer and seller with a clear picture of the condition of the home and identify any current or future problems. This allows the seller to make any necessary repairs before the sale or negotiate the repairs with the buyer.
