-TIP#10 HIRE A PROFESSIONAL HOME INSPECTOR--In my experience, spending a few hundred dollars on a professional home inspection is the best investment you'll ever make. A professional inspector brings experience in examining a great many homes, good evaluation standards and unbiased perspective. And a written report can be an excellent negotiating tool.
A TYPICAL INSPECTION LOOKS AT: . Foundation (slab,crawlspace,basement,etc.) . Electrical, heating and plumbing systems . Floor, walls and ceilings . Attic . Roof . Siding and trim . Porches, patios and decks . Garage . Property drainageMake sure you accompany your inspector on the tour. You will learn alot about the home you are thinking of buying.
Once you have your evaluation, the decision process is yours. A home inspector only gives you a professional opinion of the home's condition, not advice as to whether or not you should buy.
