Buying a home? Yes, buying a home can be exciting, momentous, and meaningful. But the process can become very stressful quick. Particularly, for the first-time homebuyers. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This often includes a written report, photographs, environmental reports and what the inspection company has to say during the inspection. All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience even more overwhelming. What should you do? Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into three categories: 1. Major defects. An example of this would be a Polybutylene Plumbing. 2. Equipment or items not in working order, like an air conditioner. 3. Items in need of normal homeowner maintenance Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property. . Most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered during an inspection. Realize that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. That's where the Marion Home Home Inspection Services comes in.
