Home Inspections

Printable version E-mail this article

Inspections are designed to help you understand the overall condition of a property, potentially saving you considerable time with the purchase process and hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs.

Standard Home Inspection - Areas which may be covered include lot and grounds, roofs, exterior surfaces, garage/carport, structure, attic, basement, crawl space, electrical, heating and air conditioning systems, plumbing, fireplace/wood burning devices, and appliance condition. Remember that your inspection rights are clearly stated in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. In some cases homes can be sold "as-is" even though an inspection may take place.

If you have particular concerns, some of these specialty inspections can take place:

• Radon Inspection • Termite Inspection • Asbestos Inspection • Composition Board Siding • Lead Paint Inspection • On-Site Waste System Evaluation • Pool/Hot Tub Inspection • Private Well Flow and Potability Inspection • Stucco Siding Inspection • Underground Storage Tank Inspection

Obtaining the proper inspections for a home prior to purchase is one of the best ways to make a smart purchase decision and protect your investment.
