And here are a few questions and answers, people have about home inspections :

What is a home inspection ?

Can anyone perform a home inspection ?

Why should I have the home inspected ?

How do I request a home inspection, and who will pay for it ?

Should I be present when the home inspection is performed ?

Are all inspection reports the same ?

What should I do if I feel something has been missed on the inspection ?

If, following the home inspection, the seller repairs an item found in the home inspection, may I have the Home Inspector perform a “re-inspection” ?

In my home purchase I have chosen to sign the standard Offer to Purchase and Contract form which many real estate and legal professionals use. It states that I have the right to have the home inspected and the right to request that the seller repair identified problems with the home.
Will the home inspection identify all of these problems ?
