A good, qualified home inspector will examine a wide range of components inside and outside the house, including…
n Structural components:
Foundation, roof, walls, and potential for settling or cracks.
n Exterior:
Siding, windows, doors, drainage, and grading.
n Interior:
Plumbing, electrical systems, heating and cooling systems, insulation, and potential for leaks or damage.
n Major appliances:
Functionality and lifespan of appliances like furnace, air conditioner, and water heater.
n Safety features:
Smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire safety hazards.
n Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection: Examine the home exterior and interior to look for any signs, or conducive conditions for wood-destroying insects, like termites.
This way you’ll gain valuable insight into its overall condition and potential risks so you can negotiate repairs with the seller or walk away from the deal if necessary.
