Protect Your Investment with a Comprehensive Inspection
Inspections play a pivotal role in saving you money and future hassles. A crucial step in the purchase agreement is requesting a comprehensive whole house inspection soon after an accepted offer.
Key Points to Consider
Purpose of Inspection
- Identify hidden issues not easily visible during a standard walk-through.
- Attend the inspection or meet with the inspector afterward to review findings.
Inspector’s Role
- The inspector is a generalist, covering a broad range of items in the report.
- The report may include suggestions for maintenance and items requiring specialist review.
Realtor’s Support
- Your realtor will offer guidance and negotiate resolutions for outstanding issues.
- Sellers aren’t obligated to make additional repairs, leading to potential negotiations.
Highlighted Inspection Priorities
- Mold — Be vigilant for mold during property walkthroughs, often caused by poor air circulation or water leaks.
- Pests — Address any pest problems, especially signs of termites, with specific inspections recommended by your agent.
- Outdated Fixtures and Wiring — Take seriously any wires hanging out of drywall, outdated wiring, or overloaded circuits, as they can pose fire hazards.
- Faulty Foundations — Cracks in the foundation can indicate potential issues, requiring further investigation due to the costly nature of foundation repairs.
Don’t overlook these crucial aspects during the inspection process to ensure a secure and informed investment in your Florida home.
