Question: How do you know if your
dream home is a diamond in the rough or potential money trap?
Answer: Only a qualified local Orange County NY Home Inspector
will be able to pick up on some signs of large
underlaying problems. A professional will be able to spot
signs of water damage from plumbing or the roof, problems
with the furnace or chimney, or even the existence of termites.
A real
estate agent will be able to assist you in
comparing homes which are in similar appearance, size,
and style but only a home inspection service familiar with the
problems which occur in the Hudson Valley will be able to tell you what
underlaying problems you might face.
Question: What
should the inspection report look like?
Answer: An inspection report should only have boxes to check
off. An inspection report should be very detailed and your
home inspector will
likely customize it for your home. You may even
want to ask
for a sample inspection report to find out what your paying for.
Question: How long will the inspection take?
Answer: Each home inspection will very in duration based on
the
size and condition of the house. Expect the entire process to
take a few hours. It might seem like a long time but an extra
half an hour might mean the difference between finding a major problem
and overlooking the minor clues.
Question: Should
I be present for the home inspection?
Answer: I would recommend that you are there for the home
inspection. An experienced home inspector is a valuable
resource that will likely give you tips on home maintenance you'll be
responsible for once you move in. In addition,
reading a report about the inspectors concerns is nothing like seeing
them first hand.
