What is the prepurchase inspection?
The prepurchase inspection is for the home buyers. The average home owner is not capable or qualified to properly evaluate their home. This is why you should hire a home inspector. Whether you have a real estate agent representing you, are buying your home by yourself, or are not required to have an inspection, it is strongly recommend you have a home inspection performed on your property. It may be the most important purchase you make.
Chances are that for most us, our home is our single most expensive purchase we will make. With many thousands of dollars on the line, why take chances? Let's look at it from another point of view. You probably would never buy a used car without finding out its mechanical history or at least asking some questions first. I'm pretty sure nobody wants to spend money on a car that will need a new engine and transmission shortly after purchasing the car. The same logic applies to homes.
A professional home inspector will inform you of the current condition of your new purchase. Nearly every system in the home will be evaluated during a typical inspection. There are multiple systems that are typically excluded from a standard home inspection ie. septic systems, water filtration systems and water softens amoung others.
If a couple hundred dollars can provide you peace of mind and save you thousands of dollars in repairs, why wouldn't you have an inspection done? It only makes good sense.
Don't jeopardize your investment, safety and peace of mind. Let Block Home Inspections LLC take the guess work and headaches out of the home buying experience.
