know exactly what it is, what it “inspects”, and whether or not you should get one. If you
don’t, it’s okay. A little further down, we’ll tell you 1) what a home inspection is, 2) who
should get one (in other words, if you should get one), and 3) where you can find a
professional, reliable home inspection service in Northern Colorado.
1. What Is A Home Inspection?
A home inspection assesses the condition of a home. It will cover everything fromstructural integrity to plumbing to cosmetic wear and tear. A home inspector quite
literally inspects a house from top to bottom. They’ll check for leaks, cracks, holes, and
whether or not certain things like the electrical wiring is up to code. All of this information is extremely important for homebuyers and even home sellers to
know. After you decide to try to buy a home, you need to know its real condition to make
sure there won’t be any hidden costs after you move in. Most lenders require a home
inspection anyway because they want to make sure they’re investing their money in a
good property. It’s a smart move, and quite common during the home buying and selling
process.
2. Who Should Get A Home Inspection?
We already talked a little bit about how useful home inspections are to potentialhomebuyers. A good home inspection could save you a lot of money if it turns out the
property you were thinking about buying has a lot of issues. Once the inspector has
done their job and made a list of items that need repairing, you, the homebuyer, and
your realtor can negotiate with the seller to hopefully get most, if not all of the problems
fixed. Sometimes, though, the seller won’t fix the issues, so you have to accept the
home as it is or keep on shopping. This is why home inspections are essential for home sellers to get, as well. You need
to know what, if any, issues your property has so that you can fix them before you put it
on the market. That way, you can avoid the hassle of having to fix them later, when
you’ll be forced to after the homebuyer finishes their inspection. Another reason you might want a home inspection is if you ordered a house built and
are coming up on the end of the builder’s warranty. This type of inspection is called an
11 month warranty home inspection, and it’s essential to get it so that if there are any
problems with the house, the builder is responsible for fixing them. Once the warranty is
expired, the homeowner becomes responsible for all repairs. So don’t wait on this type
of home inspection.
