One of the main considerations for buying any home, aside from the size, location, and other factors, is the price of the home. When you are going through the process of buying a house, your head is likely spinning from all of the steps and costs involved. A home inspection is one of the crucial steps of the real estate transaction, but did you know that it could actually help save you money in the long run? All-Pro Home Inspections has inspected thousands of homes in the last 15 years, and here are some ways that we’ve been able to save our customers money through our home inspection services.
When we arrive to inspect your home, we will assess many elements of the interior and exterior of the home, such as the roof and foundation, the plumbing system, the electrical system, and the HVAC system. We might identify a major issue that was previously undetected. Learning the full picture of the home's condition after our inspection will give you leverage to negotiate with the seller. They may be willing to compromise on the home's price or make necessary repairs themselves before you take ownership of the home.
We don't always find major issues at home inspections, but we commonly find many smaller issues. The catch with these smaller issues is that sometimes they can turn into major issues if they aren't addressed early on. These potential problems could range from minor roof problems to HVAC system problems that won't progress into the need for full-scale replacements if they are fixed early enough. For example, if our inspector uncovers a minor roof leak, repairing it now can save you from costly water damage in the future.
Even if there are no major issues identified during your inspection, you will still gain a better understanding of your home and its condition. This can help you to plan and budget for future upgrades and renovations. For example, the inspector may be able to give you an estimate of the age and remaining lifespan of your HVAC system so that you can anticipate a timeline for a replacement. When you move forward with the home purchase, you will have the facts to make the most informed decision and plan financially for the future.
