Four Assumptions About Property Inspection Services

Assessing the condition of a property is an important step to take before you can safely commit to buying it. While there are professional services that specialize in conducting property inspections, there are some assumptions that people may make that can increase their risk of missing something important with properties they are considering buying.

Assumption: There Is No Need To Hire Your Own Property Inspection Service If The Seller Has Already Had An Inspection Completed

It is common practice for property sellers to provide individuals with a copy of the inspection that they have had completed for the property. While this can be useful when you are initially considering a property, it is important to follow up with your own inspection. This can help you to avoid a situation where the original inspection service missed an issue with the property.

Assumption: Home Inspection Services Do Not Offer Warranties Or Other Protection

There is always a risk that a home inspection service may miss a problem with the property. However, professionals that are highly trained and experienced with this process will rarely make this mistake. To protect clients from this possibility, many inspection services will provide warranties and other protections that can offer compensation for the expenses that were incurred by repairing any problems that were missed in the inspection.

Assumption: A Home Inspection Service Will Significantly Delay The Finalization Of The Purchase

In many real estate transactions, speed can be critical, as the buyer wants to avoid another person attempting to outbid them and the seller wants to complete the sale as quickly as possible. While speed can be important in real estate transactions, it is important to avoid letting this pressure you out of having the property inspected. A property inspection service will only require a few hours to fully assess the condition of the building, and this could potentially save you from extremely costly repairs or other problems in the future. Choosing and retaining an inspection service before you start buying a house can lessen the time needed for this part of the process, as you will be able to immediately contact them to schedule a full assessment of the property.

Assumption: Property Inspection Services Are Only Able To Assess Structures

The condition of the buildings on the property will likely be the areas that need the most comprehensive assessment. However, it is also important to review the surrounding yard for potential problems. One example of these problems are areas that are extremely susceptible to erosion. An inspection service will be able to also help identify these potential issues as well as any threats to the buildings that they may pose.

How many hours do you spend cleaning your home each week? Do you find it difficult to get to those difficult areas, like the bathrooms, as often as they need to be done? Have you considered hiring a cleaning service to come out and help you get the work done? I had never thought that I would be able to afford to hire a cleaning service, but my mother bought me a year's service for a Christmas gift. After that year, I hired the company on to come out and do just the three bathrooms and my kitchen once each week.
