Pre-Purchase

90% of home inspections are pre-purchase inspections for homes under contract. For buyers, a home inspection is the tool you need to help you and your Realtor® determine the real value of a home and to gain insight into the condition and maintenance of a previously owned property. Home inspections can uncover aging systems in need of upgrading, reveal deficiencies in construction, or highlight repairs that need to be performed. Armed with the data provided by a comprehensive home inspection you can opt to:
- Adjust your offer price to reflect the repairs needed
- Request the seller to perform any necessary work to finalize the purchase contract
- Rescind your offer (and have your deposit refunded, depending on the terms of the original contract)
Whichever option you choose, you can feel secure knowing that you have the insight to make an informed decision and the knowledge you need to protect your investment.
