Inspection ABC's - The Basics

Summary: By contract, your buyer usually has a period of time after the acceptance of the contract
to have a professional home inspection. There are certain areas of houses that inspectors know are the most likely places for trouble to
show up.
By contract, your buyer usually has a period of time after the acceptance of
the contract (usually 3-5 working days) to have a professional home inspection, at your buyer's
expense!
Contracts generally state what needs to be in operating condition. These include the roof, foundation, heating
and air conditioning, plumbing, including wells, electrical, ceilings, windows, walls, appliances, etc. Operating condition
is usually taken to mean that the component performs the function for which
it is intended, regardless of age, and does not constitute a threat to health or safety.
Some problems that the buyer is unhappy about may need to be corrected in order to satisfy the terms of the
contract and keep the deal. These include any major component that is not in operating condition as well as
anything that is a threat to health or safety. Other issues can be accommodated by further negotiation with
your buyer.
These additional negotiations might take the form of:
A reduction in price.
Your agreeing pay the entire cost of repair, replacement, or a part of it.
Your refusing to pay for any repair or replacement.
Some combination of the above, i.e., you'll pay for this particular repair,
but not for that one.
REMEMBER: Once you are aware of a defect, you will need to put it in your Disclosures.
This is another reason to correct problems before putting your house on the market.
There are certain areas of houses that inspectors know are the most likely places for trouble to show up. In addition to the normal
deterioration of building materials, both the building codes and the law may have changed over time.
TIP: The Once Over. This is where the inspector looks at your house to get an overall impression before he gets
started with checking furnaces, air conditioning, appliances and the rest. How does the house look?
A good overall first impression goes a long way toward getting your buyer's inspector to view your
house as a good house and solid investment for his people.
