When buying a new house, it’s not unusual to feel pressured to sign a contract before a pre-purchase home inspection has taken place. If you’ve found a house you love that you don’t want to miss your opportunity on, you can always add a clause to the contract that states the sale is contingent upon a satisfactory structural inspection. You will have to specify when the inspection is to be carried out, but in the case of significant issues being found, you’ll be able to back out of the sale without facing any penalties. However, it’s important to note that the defects in the home must be pretty significant in order to walk away from the sale altogether. #realestatetips
