Did you find a home that seems to be perfect for you? It has all your must-haves and even some of your nice-to-haves.

The house appears to be in an excellent condition, but merely judging the house by its facade isn’t the best idea when it comes to an investment of this magnitude.

There are many advantages to having a home inspection done by a certified home inspector.

It is an inexpensive way to discover the universal condition of your new home. It may help you avoid a costly mistake in purchasing a property that’s in poor condition or badly in need of significant repairs.

A good home inspector will assist home-buyers in understanding the current condition of the home, what, if any, issues should be addressed prior to settlement, what can wait, and which items to budget for repair in the distant future.

As a buyer, you are making a significant investment and it is essential to know exactly what you’re buying.

A lot of first-time home buyers don’t realize that it’s their responsibility to find a home inspector. To find a home inspector people tend to ask for recommendations from friends, family members or your brokers. While other opinions are helpful, you want to make sure you hire someone who is competent and qualified for the job.

What should you do during the inspection?

Its very important for buyers to make an effort to be present while the inspection is ongoing, that way you can follow the inspector around the house. This is the ideal time to ask the inspector how to take care parts of the home.

After the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed the summary of his inspection with a list of concerns. It’s a good idea to hold on to this report even after settlement and refer back to it as you want to have maintenance done to your home in the future.

Here’s a list of things an inspector may look into:

Electrical system
Plumbing system
Heating and cooling systems
Radon detection equipment, if applicable
Walls, ceiling, and flooring
Windows and doors
Roofing
Foundation
Basement
Attic
Insulation
