Home Inspections Are So Important- Don't Waive It

Home Inspections Are So Important- So Don't Waive Your Rights

Never scrimp on the purchase of your new home; whether it is "New Construction" or a "Resale Home" because it is definitely money well spent. I personally have had one on every home I purchased and luckily I never found anything bad but some of my clients have. Here is a few items I will share. These were items that needed to be fixed or replaced before the home closed. Very important to know what you are buying as you do not want to take over someone else's problems.

1. A furnace in the attic that had been recalled due to house fires. The company has since gone out of business and there is no money left but the buyer knew it had to be replaced before moving in.

2. A recall on a dishwasher due to the door causing fires due to overheating problems. Whirlpool came out and replaced it at no charge.

3. The water was not even connected in one of the bathrooms.

4. The breaker box had black on the insides and was found to be wired incorrectly and could have started a fire.

5. A dishwasher that did not even work though it was reported to be new.

6. Major leak in the kitchen and the pipes had been removed and replaced with the incorrect ones. There was no slant and a hole in one of the pipes had black electrical tape on it. The hole was there for another pipe to connect to. A lot of hot water could have caused a major flood.

 These are just a few of the issues I have run across in the past year so make sure you have a home inspection and if it is something major, your Realtor needs to request it to be fixed by the seller before closing.

This is a picture I took of an inspector coming out of the attic recently. It turned out so funny that I thought I would share it.
