Home Inspection and Its Importance in the USA?
Based on the definition of American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), a home inspection is considered an objective visual assessment of the physical structure and systems of a house, including all parts of the house from the roof to the foundation. The purpose of a home inspection report is to show general physical conditions of a home.
When people decide to own a home, they can be too emotional to make rational decisions about the house they intend to buy a house. Sometimes buyers want to buy the house because they like the neighborhood, location or only appearance of the house; however, they might not overlook the important deficiencies of the house. Considering most people have no experience buying a house, a report prepared by a home inspector about the general physical condition of the house before signing the contract will be always the wisest option to go with. The main objective of getting a home inspection is to identify major structural, mechanical or safety defects that the house might have. As we discussed in one of our articles, a home inspectors company directory stated that “Anyone who knows real estate knows that a home can look great on the surface, but…what’s lurking inside the walls? Home inspections can be the most nerve-wracking part of the buying process,…”
A home inspection report shows the big picture of the house, gives crucial information about the general condition of a home and its systems, and illegal additions the house might have.
A home inspection report is also supposed to have safety, protection, negotiating ground, and information to estimate future expenses of the house.
