Overview of a Home InspectionWhy is a Home Inspection Important?Let’s face it. For many of us, the search for the right home usually involves the task of looking for a home that fits our needs and desires such as curb appeal, number and size of rooms, design, location, etc. Your inspector’s duty is to look beyond the appealing aspects of your dream home and focus on discovering defects and imminent problems. Your professional inspector is trained to perform a visual inspection of your prospective home so you can focus on what is important to you and your family. Our professional home inspection is an intelligent step in home buying. INSPECTING A HOME is deceptively simple: any one can do it. Performing a professional home inspection is infinitely more difficult. A home inspector needs a broad technical knowledge in building, design, and the mechanical trades to recognize conditions that may affect the future life of a home. He must be able to analyze and evaluate what he has seen, to infer from what he cannot see and to communicate his findings to his clients. The ASHI Standards of Practice specify the systems and elements which must be included in every inspection, and in part by each inspector’s experience, inclination, business philosophy, and the needs of his local marketplace.What Happens If a Defect is Discovered?Having an inspection contingency clause in the purchase contract is essential to your negotiating power. Without the home inspection, your recourse could be difficult and expensive. You may choose to negotiate the repairs of serious defects discovered during the home inspection with the seller prior to closing, or you may negotiate to adjust the price to cover the cost of repairs. You may even decide to handle minor repairs yourself. With the professional home inspection, you are in the driver’s seat.
