Some property sellers decide to get a home inspection before they even put their home on the market. By doing so, they can “spruce the place up,” fixing any problems in order to make the house as desirable as possible on the day it is posted. Fixing problems now can speed up a sale down the road.
Not every home inspection occurs because a property is changing hands. Some homeowners are concerned about changes they’ve seen in their property over the years, such as cracks in the walls or tilting of the back patio. A home inspector can come in as a third-party and give unbiased opinions about what does or doesn’t represent a potential risk to the integrity of the house.
