Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is always a good idea to make sure you have it inspected by a licensed professional. From a buyer’s perspective, you will want to make sure everything is in order so that no hidden costs appear down the road and add to your already costly investment. In fact, many home buyers make home inspections a contingency to their purchase offer, so that if previously unknown defects are revealed, they can safely back out if they choose.
As the seller, you do not want to have a home that suddenly becomes undesirable due to things a home inspector has discovered. Instead, you should get it inspected before you put it on the market so that you can fix any defects you previously did not know about, and not worry about losing potential buyers down the line.
Home inspectors will examine everything from the exterior walls to the plumbing, to the foundation and all the way up to the roof. They inspect for fire damage, water damage, mold, and even water quality to insure that a home is in its best possible condition and, most importantly, safe for someone to live in.
