Inspection for your new home

For many of us buying a home could possibly be the largest purchase we make. Unless you are a contractor who is familiar with construction a home inspection is a wise investment that will make you aware of the overall condition of your new home. Look for an experienced, independent home inspector to conduct the inspection. The inspector will examine the house and report on the homes structural integrity and ensure the primary systems are in good condition. Feel free to accompany the inspector as they conduct their work. After the inspection is complete you will be given a report stating the condition of the home. Having this information will better enable you to know what to offer for the home and if any conditions exist that need to be addressed. Home warranty insurance programs are available that will protect the new home owner from unexpected mechanical or major system failure, ask your real estate agent about home warranty insurance programs.
