Home
Inspection
One
of the most important things you can have done before the purchase of
your home is to have it inspected by a qualified home
inspector. In fact, most lenders will not lend money until the inspection
is completed.
Home
inspections are important because an inspector can pick up on things
that are not visible to the naked eye.
They
will check that the foundation
is in tact, and make sure that all electric
and plumbing
fixtures are in safe and correct working order.
They
will also check for any and all safety features that may not be in accordance
with local safety ordinances.
A
home inspection is highly encouraged, regardless if your lender
requires it or not. The last thing you want is to move into your new home
only to find out you have shell out thousands of dollars because your
ceiling
begins to sag due to a faulty foundation.
Home
inspections typically run anywhere from $300.00 to $400.00. This may vary
depending on where you live and the size of your home.
