Why Have a Home Inspected?
Pre-Purchase
Buying a home is the single most expensive purchase most of us will
ever make. For a few hundred dollars you can use the services of
a home inspector to get a much better idea of the homes physical
condition. Most states require that the purchase and sales agreement
have a clause allowing you the right to have the home inspected
to your satisfaction or get a full refund of your deposit. Exercising
this right is definitely in your best interest. Large and costly
problems may be brought to your attention before you buy the home,
leaving you in a position to renegotiate the terms of the sale or
just walk away from the deal. You may prefer to have the seller
make repairs, or you may negotiate a price cut. The choice is yours.
You will be in a far more difficult position if problems are discovered
after the deal is closed. Just remember: Buyer beware. If the time
allowed for the home inspection is unrealistic then insist on having
it extended -- three weeks should be enough. Allow time for possible
lab results.
