We recommend scheduling a Home Inspection as soon as you have a property under contract. This allows us to identify any potential issues early on and can help you make an informed decision about the purchase of the property.
If the Home Inspection reveals issues with the property, you can use this information to negotiate with the seller for either repairs or a price reduction. In some cases, you may choose to walk away from the purchase entirely.
A Home Inspection is not a requirement by law for the sale/ purchase of a home. However, it is highly encouraged so you can make an informed decision on your purchase. We recommend you contact your lending/ financial institution for their specific requirements regarding home inspections.
Both services are used to evaluate a property. However, the key difference is; appraisals evaluate the property value while inspections evaluate the property condition. The home inspector's role is not to comment on the homes worth.
Although the homebuyer does not need to be there for the inspection, it is highly encouraged. Homebuyers find it to be a valuable experience and affords the homebuyer an opportunity to engage with the inspector and ask questions as they arise. Interacting with the inspector during the inspection can provide homebuyers with invaluable information to help them make informed decisions about their investment.
