I would suggest interviewing several home inspectors before deciding on the one you will use to inspect the home you are buying. Questions that you should ask your home inspector include:
- The price they will charge.
- Verify that they are licensed by the State.
- Do they have any designations or certifications?
- Are they also licensed in one or more trades/skills such as electrical, contractor, A/C?
- How long does their typical inspection take?
- Do the inspect for termites?
- What state of the art tools do they use when inspecting?
- Do they take pictures of hard to see areas and areas in need of repair?
- What type of guarantee do they offer?
- Do they have references?
Asking the right questions when hiring a home inspector could help you avoid costly repairs after moving into your home or could prevent you from purchasing the home because of it's undisclosed condition issues.
