Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most common questions our customers ask:

What is a Home Inspection?

A home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structural components of the property, from the foundations to the roof. Home inspections are designed to protect the buyer by revealing problems they might not otherwise have noticed.

Why is a Home Inspection Necessary?

Purchasing a home is likely the biggest investment you'll make. To avoid unexpected issues and costly surprises, it's essential to learn as much as possible about the property before buying, whether it's newly built or previously owned. A home inspection can uncover major defects, builder oversights, and necessary maintenance to keep the home in good condition. With this information, you can make informed decisions confidently.

Why Not Inspect the Home Yourself?

Even seasoned homeowners don't have the specialized knowledge and experience of a professional home inspector. Inspectors are trained in home construction, proper installation, maintenance, and safety. They understand how home systems and components should work together and why they might fail. Additionally, buyers often struggle to remain objective about a house they desire. A professional, impartial third-party inspection provides accurate and unbiased information.

When Should I Schedule a Home Inspection?

Preferably a home inspection should be carried out prior to making an offer. However, this is not always possible, in which case an offer should be made subject to a satisfactory building and pest inspection. Ensure that the contract of sale clause relating to this is changed from the standard clause.

Should I Attend the Home Inspection?

It is not necessary for you to attend the building inspection.

What if the Inspection Reveals Problems?

No house is flawless. If the inspection uncovers issues, it doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the house. Instead, it informs you of what to expect. This information is crucial if you have a tight budget or prefer to avoid future repairs. In some cases, the seller might agree to address major or minor repairs.

How Much Do Our Home Inspections Cost?

Our home inspections start at $457. The cost will vary based on the number of bedrooms & bathrooms and the location of the property. Call, text, or email us for a quote today!
