Why are residential inspections necessary?
The purpose of the home inspection is to give the buyer a thorough picture of the condition of the property before purchase. Often this offers the buyer the opportunity to further negotiate the price or have major repairs completed by the seller before the purchase of the property.
Many new homes look good cosmetically, but a qualified home inspector is able to detect any defect in construction, which usually goes unnoticed by the untrained eye. In my experience as a home inspector in Houston I have found everything from gas leaks in the attic to dryer vents that have separated.
It is important to have the home inspected if you are buying a used (resale) home, or even if you are buying a new home. Knowing about a problem and having it corrected before you purchase the home can save you a lot of money.
Am I required to have a home inspection?
More often than not, it is at the buyer's discretion. Residential inspections are optional. Because buying a home is the biggest investment most of us will ever make, I highly recommend having a thorough Texas real estate inspection.
