What You Should Look Out For
Home inspections provide an opportunity for a buyer to identify any major issues with a home before closing. The most important reason to have a home inspection is to see if there are any major concerns of the structure of the home as they can be very costly. Home Inspections are a very cost-effective way to give you more peace of mind before making a huge purchase.
A comprehensive inspection includes a visual examination of the home from top to bottom, including the heating, air conditioning systems, the interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, the foundation, basement, and visible structure.
Following the examination, the inspector will provide a report that not only points out possible defects or areas of concerns, but also the positive aspects of the structure as well as the type of maintenance that will be necessary to keep the home in good shape
Inspections can reveal problems that you may be able to get the current owners to fix before moving in. For new home construction, it’s a crucial part of the home buying process. For
first-time homebuyer, an inspection can give you a crash course in home maintenance. Whatever the situation, addressing issues early through a
home inspection can save you tens of thousands of dollars down the road. If you have any questions regarding the home buying process, please give us a call today to speak with one of our mortgage specialists at 416-621-7501.
