Why Home Inspections Are Worth The Cost

By Stella Gay


Selling a house requires a lot of things to be considered. There is the cleaning and staging, but, first, you need to know the value. This figure is composed of more than just what you want. It must be based on the neighborhood and what other houses in it are selling for. It also must reflect the condition of the house. That valuation can be discerned by having a firm that does home inspections come and do one for you.

In Greensboro, NC, these inspectors are employed by many companies. Some construction or remodeling companies often offer their services for this. The problem of this would be to separate what they find, in this inspection, from what they say they can fix. They often find things that only pad their bill. You need to hire one of them for an inspection only and not to repair.

Contacting a company who only does these inspections makes it easy to trust the report. You want to know about things that are actually a problem and not just something that only looks bad but is fine. If you are a buyer, you want to know if you can use that report to get a discount on the asking price. If a seller, you might want to boost the price a little for a great report.

If you are the seller and you get a bad report that means more work for you or a different asking price, usually lower. As a buyer, a bad report, if verified, could mean you need to work at getting the price lowered because you will have to do some work on the house before you can enjoy it. This inspection works for everyone.

The areas of concern, for these inspectors, will be everything. They will look at the roof, gutters, basement or crawlspace, electrical system and heating and air conditioning units. All appliances, if they will be staying and the faucets, water heater and all walls, ceilings and any furnishings. They will all have other things they look at.

This type of information, if you are the seller, makes the entire transaction more honorable. As the buyer, it makes the entire transaction more comfortable. There is a lot to say about knowing the condition and whether bad stuff has been hidden or not. There is also the ability to make decisions, based on factual information instead of uninformed assumptions.

A number of things, in Greensboro, NC must be reported to the buyer by the seller, such as termites and or other listed insects or vermin. The foundation must be verified as being sound. The crawlspaces are to be certified as having at least the basics of safety and livability standards.

This crucial inspection is to protect you, whether as a buyer or seller. You may need to do some repairs, on either side of the transaction, but finding out what may or may not need to be done is more important. This protection, both physically and, in some cases, legally, could make or break a sale.
