Why Do I Need An Inspection?

The purpose of a home inspection is to protect the client against costly repairs and financial loss. It’s an evaluation of the dwelling by a professional to protect the buyer. Our job is to protect you from buying a house with serious defects.

Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency. If you aren’t comfortable with what we find, you should demand that the seller correct the problems before closing or negotiate for a lower purchase price or better terms to compensate.

Home buyers find what they think is the perfect house. They can’t imagine there’s anything wrong. While no house is perfect, a home inspection can bring peace of mind by revealing problems before you sign on the dotted line.

Home sellers want to get the most out of their house. The last thing they want to do is spend money to make repairs before the sale will go through. They need that money for their new home. Having a home inspection done before listing can prevent that. Pre-listing inspections can save you money by giving you the time to secure bids on repairs that the inspection reveals.

What not to expect from a home inspection:

A home inspection is not protection from future failures. A home inspection reveals the condition of the house at the time of the inspection.

A home inspection is not an appraisal that determines the value of a home.

A home inspector will not pass or fail a house. North Carolina does not require homes being purchased to be brought up to code. A home inspector my recommend that updates be made, especially for safety but they are not mandatory.
