Home Inspections for Buyers

Having a qualified inspector is a wise investment. Your agreement to purchase any improved property should be contingent on an inspection satisfactory to you. This gives you a reasonable amount of time to have vital features of the property checked out, and if there are problems that were not known, you have the opportunity to either re-negotiate the price or cancel the deal and receive a refund of your deposit.

Some of the things you may want to have checked include radon levels, water potability, well recovery,  septic system functioning,  lead and paint hazards, the structural and mechanical systems, and pests (usually referring to wood-destroying insects).
