A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale or pre-sale of that home.
A home inspection is conducted by a home inspector who has the training and certifications to perform such inspections. The inspector prepares and delivers to the client a written report of his/her findings. The client then uses the knowledge gained to make an informed decision about their pending real estate purchase. The home inspector describes the condition of the home at the time of inspection but does not guarantee future condition, efficiency, or life expectancy of the homes systems or components.
No matter how much the seller disclosesabout the home's condition, there are many things the seller themselves may not be aware of. So disclosure forms are never a substitute for a due diligence inspection.
And just because you’re buying a newly built home doesn’t mean it will be perfect. You should still have your own professional home inspection performed. Be sure to clarify with the builder how defects will be corrected and who will pay for correction or repair. When buying a new home, a home inspection is generally always considered to be a wise investment. It will give you a full understanding of the condition of the home and a list of any repairs that will need to be made in the near future. A good home inspection should also have a list of maintenance items that, as the new owner, you should be aware of and have a maintenance plan in place.
