Pre-Purchase Home Inspection

A home is arguably life’s largest and most important purchase. If you are looking for a home, consider getting a pre-purchase inspection of the property you intend to buy.

A home inspection is a visual examination of the property to determine the overall condition of the home. In the process, the inspector should be checking all major components (roofs, ceilings, walls, floors, foundations, crawl spaces, attics, retaining walls, etc.) and systems (electrical, heating, plumbing, drainage, exterior weather proofing, etc.). The results of the inspection should be provided to the purchaser in written form, in detail, generally within 24 hours of the inspection.


A pre-purchase home inspection can add peace of mind and make your decision much easier. It may indicate that the home needs major structural repairs which can be factored into your buying decision. A home inspection helps remove a number of unknowns and increases the likelihood of a successful purchase.

That article is too much interesting. I really like it and I got the point that the home inspection is so much important for the home. So I will consider on that point when I buy my own home. For the more information visit on www(dot)opendoorinspections(dot)com.
