What to Expect form a Home Inspection?

Ralph DiBugnara

Posted

An inspection is conducted by a licensed inspection professional, who will analyze features of the house such as electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, insulation, as well as structural features of the home. The purpose of the inspection is to unveil issues that are not noticeable to the buyer’s eye. The property should be inspected for radon which is a radioactive gaseous element that occurs naturally, especially in areas over granite, and is considered hazardous to health.

Bonus Term

Inspection Contingency
- a clause stating that the buyer can cancel the contract with no penalties if the property needs major repairs.
