Home Inspection Checklist
Home Inspection Checklist
As we discussed in our previous blog, 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.
A home inspection essentially consists of a checklist turning into a report. A home inspector will usually review the following points when preparing the inspection report.
-Foundation or structural problems
-Drainage and water issues
-Wiring and electrical issues
-Plumbing Problems
-Roof Problems
-Bad insulation
A comprehensive home inspection report may also reveal some rare cases. Here are some:
-Foreclosed Houses
-Flood Zone
-Foundation or structural problems
-Drainage and water issues
-Wiring and electrical issues
-Plumbing Problems
-Roof Problems
-Bad insulation
As we discussed in our blog, after the home inspection, the buyer and seller can either negotiate the contract or end the negotiation without signing the contract. If the negotiations do not conclude an agreement and the contract is not signed, the seller will be able to put the house on the list again. You can also get a home inspection report before your home is put on the sales list. This report can help you fix your shortcomings and sell the house at a higher price. In this case, the seller will pay the home inspection fee and disclosure laws may require you to disclose any issues. Knowing some important shortcomings of a house you like very much may affect your purchasing decision. Having a home inspection that takes 1–3weaks as a buyer protects you from future surprises. A home inspection report, the buyer will have by paying a few hundred dollars before signing the contract, will protect him from paying more.
