A few words on home inspection

A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and readily accessible systems of a home, from roof to foundation.

A standard home inspection includes a visual inspection of the condition of the home’s basement, walls, ceilings, floors, roof, attic, doors and windows, heating and central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the visible structure components of the home.

A home inspection summarizes the condition of a property, points out the need for major repairs and identifies areas that may need attention in the near future.

When buying or selling a house in resale market, buyers and sellers depend on an accurate home inspection to maximize their knowledge of the property in order to make intelligent decisions before executing an agreement for sale or purchase.

Usually the covered period of new house warrantee is one year. The new house should be checked by a professional inspector at the end of the first year, in order to find and report the missing or defective components or systems within the warrantee period.
