Home Inspections
A Home Inspection is traditionally done after the home has been purchased. The purchase often has between two and three days to hire a Qualified Home Inspector to go through and review the home in detail.
The inspection can usually take from two to four hours and includes a detailed analysis of each of the home's five major systems:
- Structural
- Heating & Cooling Systems
- Electrical
- Roof
- Plumbing
A good inspector offers you a written report at the time of the inspection detailing
any deficiencies and/or positive qualities found in the home. The purpose of the Home
Inspection is to give the buyer an overall blue print on the condition of the home and
often helps the buyer plan what should be done next. Remember, even a renovated home must
be maintained on a regular basis. It is not done for the purpose of renegotiating the offer,
unless something completely unexpected turns up.
Cost of a home inspection can range between $350 - $550, and is paid for by the purchaser.
Under certain conditions and in some parts of the city, a termite inspection may be important.
The Mulholland & Ross Group offer valuable advice when dealing with these issues.
