What is a home inspection?
|
ASHI defines it as; The process by which an inspector visually examines the readily accessible systems and components of a home and which describes those systems and components in accordance with the ASHI Standards of Practice.
We feel it's more than that. Quite simply, we feel it's peace of mind. Peace of mind in knowing the condition of your potential new home is what you can live with. We often tell our customers there's no such thing as a perfect house. If you're looking for one, you may want to stop looking.
During our inspection, we review over 400 items throughout the home.
As much
as we're trained to recognize construction and major system defects,
there
will most always be maintenance or upgrade concerns. Know what you can
live
with and what you cannot. A seasoned home inspector can point out both the good and bad,
the serious and the not-so serious.
The home inspection is your opportunity to not only find deficiencies but learn about the house as well.
 Learn where the utility shut offs and disconnects are.
Learn which systems require what type of maintenance and when.
Use this time to measure a few windows or confirm a room size.
Oh, and don't forget to measure the opening for the refrigerator if the existing one doesn't stay.

Forgot the tape measure?
Don't worry: ask your inspector for a complimentary tape.

NOTE: An important reality to understand of a pre-purchase inspection is that conditions often change between the time of our inspection and the date the property conveys to you. This time span can range from a day, to even six months or more. AmeriSpec URGES their clients to perform a complete, thorough walk through inspection just PRIOR to the closing. We offer a walk through checklist for this purpose. Please feel free to print it and use it as a guide when doing the final walk through of your new home.
