How To Avoid Home Closing Delays

What Buyers Can Do to Avoid Closing Concerns

When buying a home, you should always have a professional home inspection performed. You need to know exactly what you are getting. The professional home inspection will reveal any significant problems with the home so that they may be addressed before you close the deal. Making your buying decision much easier and more confident. When we inspect the home we will look at the systems that make up the building such as, structural elements, foundation, framing, plumbing systems, roofing, electrical systems, HVAC heating & cooling systems, doors, windows, paint, siding and much more… The inspection report will identify systems and or components which are in need of repair, the report will also identify unsafe conditions and routine maintenance tasks needed. You should require an inspection at the time you make a formal offer. Make sure the contract has an inspection contingency. Then, arrange for an inspector of your choosing to come inspect the house and pay close attention to the inspection report. If you aren’t comfortable with what we find, you should request that the seller correct the problems before closing or negotiate for a lower purchase price or better terms to compensate. The professional home inspection will reduce the risk of costly surprises with what is likely to be the largest purchase you will ever make. It helps you to make a more informed, more comfortable decision.
