Buying an Existing Home
When you're looking at an existing home to purchase there
are many unknowns concerning this property. How old are the
appliances, the HVAC system, the water heater and etc.? What
repairs and maintenances have been made to these systems?
Were the repairs made properly and by a licensed contractor?
These questions and many others face home buyers every day.
So how do avoid making mistakes that can cost you literally
thousands of dollars? Great questions and that's where a Professional
Home Inspector can help.
During the real estate buying contract time, the Inspector
is the only outside, non bias party that you hire, that represents
you and works entirely for you during this entire process.
The Inspector has only his inspection fee and your business
to earn from the home buying process. Many say that the Inspector
is your only real friend during the home buying process.
Why do I need a home inspection?
Buying a home could be the largest single investment you will
ever make. To minimize unpleasant surprises and unexpected
difficulties, you'll want to learn as much as you can about
the existing house before you buy it. A home inspection may
identify the need for major repairs or builder oversights,
as well as the need for maintenance to keep it in good shape.
After the inspection, you will know more about the house,
which will allow you to make decisions with confidence.
You will be pleased with your decision to have the home inspected,
especially if you hire the right inspection company to perform
your inspections. That is why you should call TexaSpec today
to discuss your inspection needs and to interview our Inspectors.
We have been doing Inspections for over fourteen years and
promise if you will give us just 5% of your confidence, that
we will earn the other 95%!
What will it cost?
The inspection fee for a typical one-family house varies geographically,
as does the cost of housing. Similarly, within a given area,
the inspection fee may vary depending on a number of factors
such as the size of the house, its age and possible optional
services such as septic, well or radon testing.
Do not let cost be a factor in deciding whether or not to
have a home inspection or in the selection of your home inspector.
The sense of security and knowledge gained from an inspection
is well worth the cost, and the lowest-priced inspection is
not necessarily a bargain. Use the inspector's qualifications,
including experience, training, compliance with your state's
regulations, if any, and professional affiliations as a guide.
