Real Estate Inspection Tip: some home inspection services include not only structural inspection – such as foundation inspection and septic inspection, but “extra services” as well. Such as pest inspection, and a check for radon gas. For that reason, it is important to critique a home inspector and ask what services are included before hiring one.
What to Expect During Real Estate Home Inspection
Having your real estate inspected by a professional home inspector is a prudent move for both the home for sale by owner and the buyer. The purpose of the inspection is not to fail or pass a house; it is to verify its current condition.
When interviewing, request what services are included. For instance, do they check for termite infestation? What about water damage or mold and mildew? When inquiring about rates, ask what is included in the cost and what type services constitute extra fees.
An examination of the condition of the home will be carried out by a trained professional, using special equipment. House structure will be examined top to bottom. The roof, basement, and everything in between will be inspected; including plumbing, electrical, water heater, and heating and cooling systems.
A home inspection checklist will be used and copies of the final home inspection report provided at completion. The report will include any repairs necessary and maintenance issues; fire, safety, and health hazards, if any, will also be addressed.
Home inspection cost
While some inspection services quote a normal fee range, home inspection cost is dependant upon many factors. Including structure size and condition, location of the home, service provider, type of services, and any extra services required.
When it comes to hourly rates, the general rule is to expect to pay around $100 per hour. Some inspectors also charge for mileage to and from their location to the inspection site.
Time required depends on size and condition of the home. Some homes can be inspected in 2 to 3 hours; older, larger homes can take 4 to 6 hours. Time involved also depends on how thorough the inspector is, and overall structure condition.
The structure will be inspected for soundness and stability; to insure proper building practices have been used, and that residential building code requirements have been met.
Some inspection services consider detached garages as part of the main building, while others consider them outbuildings and charge extra. Other “extra charges” might include swimming pools, wells, and septic systems.
Regardless of cost, the value of having a home inspection performed before marketing or purchasing real estate cannot be over emphasized. One that uncovers serious problems could save both homeowner and buyer thousands of dollars.
Selecting a Good Home Inspection Service Company
An important aspect of hiring a reliable inspector is to ensure they are licensed or certified, according to providence standards. Also verify insurance.
Some real estate inspection service providers charge by the square foot; others by the price of the house being inspected, or by the hour. When charging by house price, rates up to 2% are not considered unreasonable.
