So you have decided to take the leap and invest in a home of your own! There are so many benefits to home ownership and the rewards of caring for your property can be amazing. Before you place an offer on a house, however, an inspection should be done. This can check for faults with big-ticket items such as the heating and ventilation system, the roof, plumbing, and electrical systems. When having one of these inspections don't forget about getting a pest inspection as well. Read on to find out about home inspections and the importance of a pest inspection. Home inspections are a routine part of the home buying process. They are usually done by a certified home inspection professional during the ten or so days after the offer has been accepted and both parties have signed the purchase and sale documents. Normally this period allows the home buyer to confirm that all the systems are working properly. It gives the buyers a chance to ask for repairs or a reduction in price if any issues are raised during the inspection. It is also a good way for the home buyers to know what condition the home is in from a professional's point of view. A general home inspection seeks to ensure to the person buying a home that the house is hazard free, in good repair, and is relatively energy-efficient. Most home inspections evaluate items such as foundation issues, roofing issues, electrical systems, and heating and ventilation systems. Unfortunately, many home inspectors do not do more than a cursory examination of problems with pests. A home pest inspection can determine the risks of or presence of some of the more damaging pests. For example, a pest inspector can evaluate if a home has termites or termite-related damage. In addition to termites, inspectors can evaluate the damage of ants, pantry pests, wildlife, bed bugs, fleas, rats, mice, roaches, and other home pest problems. If you are a home buyer and are concerned about what pests may be lurking in your home, consider having a pest inspection before you buy.
