13 Feb Questions To Ask Your Home Inspector
Getting a home inspection done is an essential part of buying a home, and it is important that you as the buyer understand the process. If you can be present for the inspection, it can be a great learning experience. Asking questions and being involved can make you feel more comfortable about deciding on the home.
Here are some questions we recommend you ask your home inspector:
– May I see your home inspector license? If the home inspector does not provide it, do not go through with the inspection.
– How long will the inspection take? This depends on the size of the home, but typically it will take a couple hours to do a thorough inspection.
– Will I be able to be there for the home inspection? Of course!
– What do you and don’t you check? It is important to know that home inspections are visual inspections. If something gets flagged, you will most likely have to have a specialist come in to further inspect. There are things that are not covered in a home inspection, for example, they do not have a license to take apart a pool pump, a HVAC unit or diagnose termites. You need to know what they do inspect and what is outside the scope of a Home Inspector’s license.
– Ask specific questions about what is being looked at. If you don’t understand something or want further clarification, don’t be afraid to ask.
– Ask for tips. Since home inspectors have seen just about everything and anything that can go wrong, this can be a good learning opportunity.
