What is involved in the Home Inspection?
When a buyer and seller agree to a deal, it may be based on a home inspection not turning up any major defects. A home inspection company will go through all the components in the house making sure everything is in working order. Electrical outlets, water facets, windows, doors, heating and AC, water heater, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, roof are just a few of the components. Some inspection companies bring in a laptop and a printer and furnish you with the report at the end of the inspection. Others send it to you a few days later. On average the inspection lasts about two hours and the buyer is encouraged to attend. Inspections can be another point where negotiations are made.
