Home Inspection
There are many good reasons to have a professional inspection performed on the home you are buying. Many homes have long standing issues or have problems that have escaped a home owner or builder that need to be addressed. Moreover, your home inspection is likely to be required if you are applying for a mortgage. Do not think because the home has an occupancy permit it is necessarily safe to live there.
Buying a house is likely one of, if not the largest purchase decision one will ever make. The whole process is fraught with emotion and stress. A professional home inspection will substantially reduce the risk for your large investment in a home. It just makes sense to learn as much as you can about the quality of your new home, before signing off on everything.
If you are purchasing a new construction home, there are other concerns that may exist. Building a new home is a tremendously complex endeavor. It involves many people, usually split up into sub-contractor groups, each working on different parts and systems of the house. Even for the best builders, it’s nearly impossible to complete this process without missing something. Maybe it’s a plumbing fixture that didn't get tested for leaks, maybe it’s an electrical box that isn't working, or any one of dozens of minor problems that can easily be overlooked in such a major undertaking. We will find such problems while it is still early enough for you to bring them up with the builder and have them corrected before you sign-off and start moving in.
For the relatively small cost, hiring a Benchmark Home Inspector can pay big dividends in peace of mind and getting any problems identified and corrected before they can become an unpleasant surprise.
