Why the Home You're Buying Needs to Be Inspected

Finding and then buying a home can be a long a detailed process. With loan considerations, home locations, size and style of homes there seems to be a never ending list of things to get done and to be thought through. One step that is sometimes omitted is that of the home inspection. This is a very important step that should not be left out. All homes should be inspected, both older and new homes.

Sometimes a home buyer gets tired all of the steps and the associated expenses and decides to forgo the home inspection step. This can be a costly and aggravating mistake. After inspecting over a thousand homes I still have not found a home that is perfect. All homes have issues. New homes of course have fewer issues normally, however the small issues found at new and older homes can result in larger issues if the situation is not corrected in a timely manner.

I recently conducted a condo inspection on a newly built condo. At this location there had not been installed the anti-tip bracket for the stove. This is a safety item which prevents the stove from tipping over and seriously burning or killing a child. Also the furnace was very dusty. It was dusty from the workers finishing up the drywall and the resultant dust in the condo. Also there was a smoke detector that was placed too low on the wall. If a fire were to occur the, the fire would have had more time to spread before the detector ฝากขายบ้าน alarmed.

At one inspection of a new home I found a serious structural issue that the county inspector did not find. The home had passed the final county inspection approximately three months before I was contacted to inspect the home for the buyer. Most issues there were minor and easily improved. I noticed that the floor in the kitchen had a low area. When I entered the crawl space of this new home I found the reason for the slight dip in the floor. Someone had cut away a three foot section of the main support beam. The assumption is that it was removed to make it easy to install duct work for the furnace. Eventually the sinking would have gotten worse. This home even though new had a serious structural issue.

It is always a good idea to have a home inspection or a condo inspection conducted no matter how new it is. Even if serious issues are not found the buyer can have peace of mind.
