Sometimes, when you move into a new house, you get down to the wire with the timing and need things to move quickly. It can be tempting to skip the home inspection when the house looks nearly perfect and you are in a hurry. United Property Inspectors, Inc. never encourages home buyers to skip the inspection, because that is a crucial piece of the home buying process. Let’s go over the importance of comprehensive home inspections and why you should never eliminate this step in the real estate transaction.
Unfortunately, not all problems within a home can be spotted by someone who doesn’t know exactly what they are looking for and doesn’t have the proper equipment. A professional home inspection will give you a clear picture of urgent issues that need to be addressed, as well as future repairs and maintenance that you should keep in mind. So, don’t be tempted to forego a home inspection just because the home looks like it’s in pristine condition.
A myriad of issues found during home inspections are issues that may not be evident at first glance and require a professional assessment in order to be found. It’s not uncommon to see homes that have structural issues from previous water damage due to poor drainage. We also might find damage to the roof from past storms that has gone undetected for years. We also encounter plumbing issues or faulty wiring that could present a hazard to future household occupants.
United Property Inspectors has served the community with inspections since 1998, exceeding industry standards one real estate transaction at a time. In addition to home inspections, we offer specialty inspections, commercial building inspections, as well as complimentary concierge services.
