A home inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property’s condition, typically conducted before purchase or sale. It assesses the structural integrity, safety and functionality of various systems and components within the home, such as the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roofing systems.

A home inspection is essential for identifying any potential issues or concerns with a property before finalizing a purchase or sale. It provides valuable insights into the condition of the home, allowing buyers to make informed decisions and sellers to address any issues proactively.

The duration of your home inspection will vary depending on several factors such as the size, age, and condition of the property. On average it could take from 2 – 3 hours. 

While it is not mandatory, attending the home inspection is highly recommended. It allows buyers to accompany the inspector as they assess the property, ask questions, and gain a better understanding of any issues or concerns identified during the inspection. 

While it is not required, there are some steps you can take to prepare for a home inspection. These may include clearing access to an attic, crawl spaces, and utility areas, ensuring that all utilities are turned on, and compiling any relevant documentation or repair records for the inspector’s review.

If the home inspection uncovers significant issues or concerns, you have several options depending on the terms of your purchase agreement. You may negotiate with the seller to have the issues addressed or repaired before finalizing the purchase, request a reduction in the purchase price to cover the costs of repairs, or decide to walk away from the deal altogether.
