What Home Inspections Include
Buying a Home?
Home inspections are essential for anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.
Home inspections are akin to a medical examination by a doctor, covering a home’s systems from top to bottom. Typically, a home inspection takes 2-3 hours, but this can vary depending on the property’s size, age, and condition. The cost varies again by property size and location but is generally between $450-$650. Following the inspection the buyer is presented with a written report including all of the details of the inspection

It is often said that one of the most expensive and important purchases you will ever make will be your home. However, unlike the guarantee a buyer receives with most purchases, there’s no money-back guarantee or return policy if you’re not satisfied with your recently purchased home. Once you buy a home, you’re on your own to maintain it, repair it, anticipate problems and pay the bills. This is why it’s best to know as much as you can about potential problems before you buy.
One of the best ways to see if a home is in good condition, livable and safe is to hire a professional home inspector.
