Published: September 15, 2022

If you’re in the market for a new house, you’ll need to have it inspected first. If this is your first time buying a home, read on for tips about what to expect and what questions to ask during the inspection process. You won’t want to miss these essential home-buying tips!

Always Choose Safety First

When it comes to selecting a home inspector, most realtors can point you in the direction of one. You may decide to spend more money on an extensive inspection to avoid any safety hazards when you move in. Make sure home inspectors look for everything from mold to fireplace status before buying a property.

Make Note of Any and All Home Defects

You may either engage the current homeowner to make the repairs before you buy the property or demand a lower price and do the repairs yourself after you get your house inspection report. To figure out how much money it would cost to repair after you buy, calculate how much money it would cost to make these improvements.

Ask an Inspector for Home Care Tips

A home inspector can also advise you on how to maintain your house in the future after you’ve purchased it. Many first-time homeowners are unsure how often to clean a chimney or how long a water heater should last. However, a home inspector will be an excellent source of information for your property in particular.
