Home Inspections Protect You As The Buyer Or As Seller

By Stella Gay


The things that must be figured out, in order to sell a house, is a fairly long list. The advertising is one as are the cleaning and proper planning for the staging. The value of the house will have to be worked out. That is usually based on what other houses, in the same area, have been selling for and the condition of the house in question. That valuation can be ascertained by hiring a professional who does home inspections.

There are many inspectors, working in the Greensboro, NC area. Many of them work for some of the construction companies. The only problem, here, is that you separate the inspection from what they will be fixing. Having them looking for things for them to fix may get you a larger bill for repairs because they will be looking for things that they need to fix.

There are, of course, companies who simply do the inspections. As a seller, you want to have someone experienced in this, looking at your house. You want this inspection to find things wrong with it. This is either so you can get those issues fixed to beef up your asking price, or to ensure the buyers will know about them so they can be forewarned.

A bad report on the house, if you are a buyer, will mean you will have repairs to do before you can enjoy your purchase. If you find a lot of things, as a seller, you may need to do some work to keep the price stable. This means work or means giving a little on the price to make the sale that could be endangered with this bad report.

The inspector will be looking at everything about the house and everything that will be sold with house. The major items the inspector will cover are the foundation, exterior and interior walls, basement or crawlspace, and all appliances to be left. The water heater, the electrical system as well as all faucets, light fixtures and the heating and air conditioning system as well as many other areas of interest.

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.
