The average home buyer views at least 10 homes over an eight week search so it isn’t practical to get a professional inspection of every house they tour.
This is a list of some of the most important things to look for, in your own pre-inspection that will help identify potential problems before calling in the pros.
1) Mass Exodus from the Neighborhood
2) Mediocre Maintenance
3) Foundation Failures
4) Bad Smells - Inside or Outside
5) Faulty or Old Wiring
6) Fresh Paint… on One Wall
7) Locked Doors and Blockades
8) Foggy or Non-Functioning Windows
9) Structural Walls or Floors have been Removed
10) Bugs!
The Bottom Line
Always get a professional inspection for the house you choose to buy. Skipping a home inspection is not a good way to cut costs. You’ll end up paying more in the long run when problems arise.
