Home Inspection Is Not Optional

With the numerous TV programs now covering the process of flipping properties, many homeowners have been given a sense of self confidence. These do-it-yourself shows have provided their audience with the idea that they too can be professional real estate investors. While you may have the funds to attempt flipping a property or two you have not been trained to professionally inspect a home. When it comes to serious buying and selling it pays to have elite home inspections done during the home buying or selling process. These professionals follow industry approved standards in methodically inspecting homes to give homeowners a real evaluation on the condition of the house. This assures buyers that they will not be making a poor investment.

Home inspections take a look at the home from the roof down to the foundation. Inspectors can check for mold and termites which are strong indicators of the true state of the property. Certified home inspectors will check the shingles, the electrical wiring, and the plumbing. Inspectors will also check if there are cracks in the walls and will look under the sinks to look for evidence of current or past leaks. Essentially, these professionals will thoroughly check if everything in the house is in proper working condition and provide you with a detailed inspection report that summarizes all of the issues into an easy to read format. The report gives the home owner or buyer a very transparent way to gauge the value of what they intend to sell or purchase.

In some cases, an inspection is also required prior to selling a home. Such is the case of termite inspection. Termites could be both flying and found underground or in subterranean conditions. These insects are sure to become a potential issue with home owners. Termites can affect the structural integrity of the house when it consumes the wooden portions of the house. Termites can turn the property into a potential danger zone. One can be sure that termites will not only cause physical damage, but will also pull down the value of the property.

Another thing elite home inspections can spot is mold infestation. Since mold favors moist areas, these could also mean unwanted moisture in the home. Not only that, it also reflects on the cleanliness of the home. Some molds are identified as health threats, some even causing ailments that could lead to death.

For both seller and buyer, getting rid of molds is important. Depending on the home inspection service, the inspectors might take samples of molds and have these analyzed. That is the way to identify the kind of mold and determine if these are dangerous. Professionals can provide a detailed report about the molds and give action steps to remedy the situation.

In checking the condition of the home, aside from the electrical wirings, some inspectors also perform a check of the home appliances. Some provide a separate report on what needs repair or replacement, especially for appliances with that are known to have been recalled by the manufacturer. Having these in the home also pose as a danger for the people living in the house. Having properly working appliances in the house for sale lessens the burden for the home buyer to acquire new appliances. As such, these appliances add value to the house for sale.

A home inspection is not a simple matter that can be done by untrained personnel. For home buyers, it would be a big risk not to have a home inspection done before signing the closing deal and handing over the payment. One cannot move into a home that is bound to be a future safety hazard. Having elite home inspections does the job of providing peace of mind perfectly. A home inspection team that offers a warranty on their work is the best option to pick.

Some companies offer a 90-day warranty. This means that the report that the company gives to a home buyer does not end on the day the buyer moves in. The warranty works when the new home owner spots something that is not in working order but is indicated as functioning on the report. The new home owner will not be under obligation to pay for the repairs and the inspectors will cover it. With this kind of warranty, the inspection team is not likely to make false declarations in their inspection report. This should give the home buyer the peace of mind that they are truly getting an accurate inspection report.

A costly inspection has the potential to cripple any small business.

Your property could be sold at a huge loss.
