HIRING A
HOUSE INSPECTOR
Naturally you will carefully inspect any home you intend to purchase as best you can. However, if you are not a building expert and you have some serious questions about the house’s structure or systems, it makes sense to hire an independent house inspector to do a professional job. If this is your case, here are a few pointers.
Home inspectors are supposed to work FOR the buyer. The real estate agent is not the inspection expert and he or she will be the first to tell you. Hire a house inspector who is totally impartial. That means someone who simply inspects the house and submits the findings but does nothing whatsoever to correct any fault he may find. In that way, the inspector will not be motivated to “discover” a lot of extra faults as a means toward finding repair work.
The inspector should be knowledgeable enough to give approximate costs of repairs as a guide so the client can make an informed decision on the house.
