WHAT IS A HOME INSPECTION

WHAT IS A HOME INSPECTION ?

A home inspection is a professional, objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home.

Home buyers now entering the marketplace view inspections as a way to gain valuable information about the biggest purchase of their lifetime. It helps them determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies before the sale goes through so that there will be no unpleasant surprises or insurmountable financial burdens later on.

Home inspections are not intended to point out every small problem or any non visible defects in a home. Most minor or cosmetic flaws, for example, should be apparent without the aid of a professional.

Home inspections will also highlight the positive aspects of a home. In fact, many of a home inspector's observations or recommendations help to dispel home purchaser anxieties, and provide useful repair suggestions.

The home inspection should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal code inspection, or a guarantee of any kind, but a tool to aid you, the purchaser, to be better prepared and knowledgeable.
