Home Inspection Tips For Home Buyers

The last thing you want to do is sign the papers to buy a house, and then find out there is a structural defect that is going to cost thousands of dollars to fix. Or even worse, that the house needs to be torn down. And that’s why it is very important to have a professional home inspection done before the papers are signed. CGR Home Inspections performs home inspections for potential buyers so that they can be assured that they are making a sound investment instead of pouring cash into a money pit.

Importance of a Home Inspection

The most important reason to have a home inspection before you buy is to really know what you’re buying. Research your potential home like you would any other major purchase. The more you know, the fewer surprises there will be down the road.

One of the advantages of having a home inspection performed before you buy is the power it might give you to negotiate a lower price. If a home you’re really interested in is on the edge of your price range, information gathered during the home inspection may give you the bargaining power to talk down the price. You can also insert language into a purchase contract that allows you to back out of an agreement if the inspection turns up problems.
