Michaels Utah County Board of Realtors p or condominium, plan If you are buying a home, to carefully inspect the property yourself, or have an experienced, competent inspector check areas of the home that you may not feel qualified to inspect yourself. "A home inspection should be an automatic step in the homebuying process," said Gary Tate, president of the Utah County Board of Realtors. "Knowing what to expect will help you make an informed both inside and out decision about the value of the home and the future upkeep," he said. A comprehensive home inspection includes a visual examination of the structure from top to bottom, including the heating and air conditioning systems (temperature permitting), the interior plumbing and electrical systems, the rocf and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, the foundation, basement and visible structure. If you choose to have a professional inspect areas of the home, ask them to provide a report which not only points out possible defects or areas of concern but also the positive aspects of the structure and the' type of maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. "Homebuyers who consider doing the inspection themselves should be aware that even the most experienced homeowners lack the knowlege and expertise of a professional," said Tate. For example, watermarks in the basement may indicate a chronic seepage problem, or simply may be the result of a single incident. A professional assessment will provide complete information about the condition of the property you are considering, and will help avoid any unpleasant surprises after the sale. In addition, an inspector can remain totally objective while you, as the prospective homebuyer, may be emotionally involved. y house will The inspection fee for a typical vary depending on the type of inspection you are requesting. For example, Mountain Fuel will inspect all gas appliances in the house at no charge. You may request this Most of the time they can service by calling complete this inspection within a few days after your request. The particular features of your home such as size, age and special structures will be taken into consideration as well. "The cost, however, should not be a factor in your decision to have a home inspected," said Tate. "You might save many times the cost of the inspection if you are able to renegotiate the purchase price based on significant problems revealed by the inspector." A home inspection which does reveal major problems does not necessarily mean you should not buy the house. A qualified professional in the area of concern can advise you concerning effective solutions and project the costs involved. If an inspection indicates that there are no major defects, you can complete the purchase with peace of mind about the home systems and property. In addition, you will have learned a great deal about the home from your conscientious inspection. When selecting a professional to inspect your home, your real estate agent may be able to supply you with a listing of local businesses that specialize in the area you wish to have inspected. You may wish to avoid firms affiliated with realty or construction firms. When selecting a firm to inspect the home, carefully inquire about the specifics of their work and company. The following list of questions will assist you in the interview: How long have you been in business? Is your firm affiliated with a realty or construction company? What type of insurance do you carry and do you guarantee your inspections? Do you have a published list, and can you give me the names of customer references? What type of report do you issue, and how soon will I receive it after the inspection? Do you furnish copies of your report to anyone other co-o- rambler features a brick front, Buy direct from the builder! This lead glass raised panel front door and double pane mutm windows.
