When purchasing a home, whether new or resale, it is essential to have the property checked by an  independent home inspector to assure everything is built up to standard and decrease the likely hood of encountering  problems after  you move in.   Home inspections done by independent home inspectors go beyond basic county inspections.    

Your home is a major investment and it is important to get an independent  inspector to check the electrical, heating, plumbing, and the overall structural of the home before firming up the purchase.  A good inspector will be your greatest advocate in determining and defining the merit of the home.

If  the inspector has any issues with your home, you will be in a position to ask for repairs or your money back for the home. Thousands of dollars have been saved by having  an inspector look at what is in the home and how it needs to be changed.

A final walk-through should also be done and  is typically done the day of or the day before closing.  A final walkrough inspection is important  because it’s your last chance to inspect the property before closing.  The purpose of  the walk-through inspection is to make sure the property is in the same condition as it was on the day you agreed to buy it, that any home inspection items that the seller and you agreed upon were in fact taken care of,  and that all heating, electrical and plumbing are in working order.
