Timberline Home Inspections

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

There’s a lot of emotions at play when you are looking for the perfect home. But it’s important to know that you really can’t have a ’thorough look’ yourself a...nd detect any major problems. Here’s 6 things that are not necessarily easy to find by a home buyer. 1. Structural problems While we can all get on our knees and start having a thorough look at some of the inside/outside walls to determine whether’s anything worthwhile noting, it does truly take a professional home inspection to detect any potential structural issues! Certain large cracks in the walls, door frames or ceiling, which the home seller quickly explained away at the time of mandate signing, might actually turn out to be a serious structural problem, where some handfuls of spackling paste won’t do the trick to make it all go away. 2, Possible safety issues. Buying a property without having a home inspection is almost the same as driving your car blindfolded. You’re still moving forward but have no real idea where you’re going to land up. 3. Budget for future maintenance Any experienced home inspector will diagnose the situation of the individual installation and determine whether maintenance is long overdue or has been taken care of quite recently. 4. Can assist with a price negotiation. We understand that at this unusually high traffic period in real estate that price renegotiations are difficult at this time. However, in typical real estate periods, this is a definite possibility.It’s also important to note that an entire home inspection report is not an excuse to justify for the seller to fix every single problem in the house. 5. If you’re not too comfortable with the home inspection finds? Step away from the deal! A home inspection can honestly save you A LOT of money! Whether it is by revealing all the unexpected costs you might be facing in the near future as the new owner of that house, or whether it is by using the home inspection report as a negotiation tool to reduce the final sales price of getting that house!E ither way, that seemingly small cost (investment?) of getting that report can give you huge returns on the initial money layout! 6. Those of us who have purchased a property before know how stressful the home buying process can get! Peace of mind knowing there aren’t any hidden problems in your new home! No skeletons falling out of the closet in the weeks/months to come
