Morristown TN Real Estate For Sale ~ Insist on a Home Inspection!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Elite Realty Group

Insist on a Home Inspection

A professional home inspection protects both you and the buyer. It allows both you and the buyer the opportunity to learn about the property’s defects.

A home inspection usually covers the following:

  • Plumbing conditions - if there is leakage or clogging
  • Roofing conditions - the extent of deterioration, if there is leakage
  • Electrical conditions - if there are inadequate circuits or potential fire hazards
  • Structural problems - if there are problems with the underlying foundation of your home

As a seller, the home inspection reports protect you because it establishes the actual condition of the property at the time of sale.

That's an interesting take, Norma, on the issue of home inspections. Here in NC seller provides a disclosure statement and it is still caveat emptor... it's up to the buyer to do their due diligence. If they fail to do so and the seller can't be shown to have hidden anything material, it's the buyer's look out.

When the market was in a frenzy earlier this year,  many sellers were doing pre-list home inspections so it would be available to buyers immediately to help expedite the sale.  But most often the Buyer will hire the inspector to conduct a home inspection.  There was a form available for use SPIS - Seller Property Information Statement, but we stopped using it... The seller answers questions abou ttheir home, but if a deficienty shows up after the seller moves in, it is very difficult to prove whether or not they were aware of any problems in the home before they sold it... It was essentially a worthless exercise.  A home inspection is always the way to go!
