Your offer has been accepted to purchase your dream home, and now you have to set up an inspection to make sure the home is in good condition.
When buying a home, you will have to get a home inspection if you’re getting a mortgage and even if you are purchasing with cash. You want to have a home inspection done no matter what the situation. By having a 4-point inspection done, it lets the bank or the homeowners know the quality of the home that they are purchasing.
A 4-point home inspection includes
- Foundation
- Roof
- Electrical
- Plumbing
- HVAC systems
- Damages caused by termites, flood, fire, and mold.
Any of the above can impact the value of your home. If a home inspection is not done, and later you find out that the foundation is cracked or the roof is rotted, this can be a costly fix for the buyer.
Once something is revealed in the home inspection you can negotiate with the seller for a lower asking price.
