Buying a home? The process can be stressful
Relax. Most of the inspection report will simply be maintenance recommendations, life expectancies and minor imperfections. These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:
- Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
- Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
- Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the home.
- Safety hazards, such as a problem with the Electric Panel or Water Heater.
I include the wind mitigation and 4-point inspection at no extra cost when a full inspection is ordered. Both reports will give you a discount when buying home owners insurance and windstorm coverage in Florida. Good Luck with the purchase of your home in Florida. Choosing the right inspector will make the process less stressful.
