You may want to include an inspection clause in the offer when negotiating for a home. An inspection clause gives you an “out” on buying the house if serious problems are found or it can give you the ability to renegotiate the purchase price if repairs are needed. An inspection clause can also specify that the seller must fix the problem(s) before you purchase the house.
Hire a professional home inspector to provide you with an objective comprehensive analysis of major systems and components in your home. Discovery Home Inspections will do that for you.
There are many reasons for a great Home inspection. The knowledge you will gain through the inspection process will give you peace of mind. Many times we uncover repairs that the seller will have to repair before you wish to close the deal or more serious situations that can affect the purchase price or you may wish to not purchase at all. Many companies you deal with like banks and insurance companies are starting to require that a full home inspection be conducted prior to approval. (with any of these situations, you will be very happy you hired a Professional Home Inspector)
