Title: The Common Home Inspection Myths

The Common Home Inspection Myths
  • Finding a house that feels like home can take
    quite a lot of time. But when you have found the
    one, what comes next? Inspection! An inspection
    is a necessary test that the house must pass to
    be bought as per the deal.
  • However, several myths cloud the actual purpose
    of inspection and its importance. An inspection
    does not just make sure that the house is good
    enough it can reveal hidden aspects that may
    even break the deal.
  • So, read on to uncover a few myths before you
    decide to move into the house you bought.
  • The most common myths about house inspection
  • Inspection is not just limited to pointing out a
    few flaws to be fixed before moving in. It also
    gives a futuristic perspective of the structure
    and pinpoints parts that can be bargained for
    too.
  • Home inspection decides whether you can buy the
    house or not
  • It is not a house inspectors role to decide
    whether a house is worth buying or not. This
    official
  • can only check the house and pinpoint factors
    that might hinder a full-fledged functioning.
  • While mostly the buyers hire a home inspector,
    but this professional is an impartial body. If
    there are actual factors that can be considered,
    only then do they seek negotiations.
  • It is a home inspectors job to pinpoint every
    fault present
  • Surely a home inspectors job is to inspect the
    house and figure all possible faults visible to
    him. However, they cannot scan through the
    structure to be able to find every possible
    fault. Theres a limitation to the things they
    can check for you.
  • A house inspector can only inspect the readily
    accessible components and make judgments
    accordingly.
  • Home appraisals and inspections are no
    different
  • This is one of the most prevalent myths about
    home inspection. Almost 1 in 5 people confuse
    these aspects and end up getting either one of
    these done. However, in reality, appraisal and
    inspection have almost nothing in common.

  • Appraisals are made on the lenders side and it
    deals with determining the value of a house.
    Whereas, an inspection is only done to ensure the
    safety and longevity of the house through
    external inspection.
  • A flipped or a new house doesnt require
    inspection
  • People believe that a new/flipped house wont
    have any safety loopholes because they have been
    recently worked upon. But that is a mere
    assumption and is far from reality. Every house
    irrespective of when it was built must be
    inspected thoroughly.
  • A recently built or redone work in the house
    gives all the more reason to inspect it for any
    possible faults.
  • You can hire any inspector for home inspection
  • There is no one close to being qualified enough
    for home inspection than a licensed and
    certified home inspector. Hiring without much
    thought might be pocket friendly, but it majorly
    puts your safety at stake. So, it is always
    recommended to hire a qualified professional.
  • New buyers often confuse the myths and facts and
    do not understand the importance of home
    inspection. But its time to debunk these myths
    and take note of the facts and utilize them
    accordingly.
