The home buying process can be stressful. A home inspection is designed to give you peace of mind and in the long run, it will. To make the most of your inspection before you buy, you'll need to make sure you give your inspection report the proper level of attention.

OUR ADVICE?

Relax.

The majority of defects included in the average Home Inspection Report tend to be maintenance recommendations, notations regarding the life expectancy of appliances and other home systems, and other minor imperfections. Keep track of the report so you can make minor repairs to once you move in; these repairs can save you a lot of headaches in the future. For now, remember that minor imperfections are to be expected. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Four Areas Of Concern

If your home inspector identifies any of the following, discuss with your Realtor right away.

Safety Hazards

For example, exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.

Financing

Anything that hinders your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.

Major Deficiencies

Deficiencies that can become major defects, such as a small roof-flashing leak.

Major Defects

Also called Material Defects. Examples include structural failure and improper electrical wiring.

Finally, you should not have to worry about the quality of your home inspection or home inspection report. New York State regulates the licensing of home inspectors, dictates the systems that must be included in a home inspection and publishes Standards of Practice. Ask potential inspectors what you can expect from them before you hire.
