BUYER INSPECTIONS

It’s critical to take advantage of the opportunity to perform routine inspections on a property you are considering purchasing. Inspectors are experienced, trained professionals hired to put the house under a microscope and find common problems, malfunctions and/or defects in the property. Below is a list of some of the inspections buyers may choose to do:

PHYSICAL INSPECTION

RADON INSPECTION

SEWER LINE SCOPING

ROOF INSPECTION

STRUCTURAL OR GEOLOGICAL

INSPECTION

HVAC INSPECTION

REQUEST FOR REPAIRS

The next step is to review the reports and decide whether or not there are any unforeseen health and safety items we’d like to ask the seller to correct. Although this is often the 2nd round of negotiations between buyers and sellers, it’s also a time when deals come to a stalemate. Here we recommend keeping the big picture in mind.
