Whether you are buying a home or selling one, a home inspection is an essential part of the process. It may identify the need for major repairs or uncover builder oversights, as well as highlight the importance of maintenance to keep the home in good shape. The inspection typically will take place after the agreement of sale is executed. Before you sign, be sure the inspection clause is used in your transaction. This clause should specify the terms and conditions to which the buyer and seller are obligated.
The American Society of Home Inspectors (www.ashi.org) publishes a Standard of Practice ad Code of Ethics that outlines what you should expect to be included in your home inspection report. Generally, it will cover the conditions of the following:
* heating system
* central air - outside temperature permitting
* interior plumbing, and electrical systems
* roof, attic and visible insulation
* walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors
*foundation, basement and structural components
Fee for inspections vary from locations and extent scope of inspections. For more info feel free to contact me at findit@LehighValleyRealty.com Have a great day!
