Whether you are in the market to buy or sell a new or used home; or a real estate agent, apprasier, lender, or insurance agent, you benefit from having a thorough inspection performed by a certified home inspector.
If you are a new home buyer, it is important that your home inspector be up to date on the periodic changes in building codes. Inspectors that treat home inspections as a part time job or hobby are less likely to devote the attention needed to staying current with the changes in building codes.
Equally as important as a current understanding of building codes is an inspector that will identify any and all deficiencies that may be present in a newly constructed house. A certified home inspector with extensive experience in the building industry will have the education and experience necessary to provide the future homeowner with detailed information about the property.
Although new homes are often warrantied by the builder for a period of time, usually a year from purchase, a home inspection prior to the end of warranty coverage provides a home owner with information about items that may need attention before the burden of fixing the issues shifts from the builder to the home owner.
If you are considering the purchase of a home, be certain that your home inspector is NACHI certified and has extensive experience to back up the certification. If you would like additional information about receiving a home inspection from the best, contact Al.
