3 Reasons to Hire a Home Inspector Before Purchasing a Home

Hiring a home inspector prior to purchasing a home is as complementary as test driving a car before buying it. The reason being is that home inspectors is trained experts who can identify current and potential issues that are difficult for the average person to pick up on. Investing in a home inspector helps to prevent significant costs that may arise in the long-run. Below are three of many reasons one should consult a home inspector before purchasing a home:

1. Bargaining Power: By consulting with a home inspector prior to buying a home, you are able to develop greater bargaining power with the seller. When the inspector identifies problems within the home that were not mentioned prior to the inspection, you have the right as a buyer to present these issues as a method for lowering the price of the home. Most owners who are motivated to sell will subsequently bring the price down or alternatively, agree to make the repairs before selling you the home.
   
2. Termites: Damage caused by termites can be detrimental to any home. It is essential to have the structure examined for these wood-boring insects. Detailed inspections can detect these infestations. Termites also lower the resale value of any home. It is important to spot these insects immediately, as their long-term effects are not worth the burden.
   
3. Safety: Safety is the most important component of purchasing any home. Though many features such as location, proximity, and street traffic are easily identifiable, issues like radon are hard to pinpoint. This radioactive gas can result in lung cancer if left untreated. Home inspections will perform thorough checks for this odorless gas as well as carbon monoxide and mold which can linger within homes. Carbon Monoxide is colorless, tasteless, and odorless as well which makes it hard to detect.
