What is one common home buying mistake that could cost you thousands of dollars as a homeowner? If one of your guesses is failing to have the home inspected by qualified home inspectors, you would be correct. Failing to have the major components of the home inspected for electrical, heating & cooling, roof, plumbing, wood destroying pests and other mechanical issues could cost you thousands after you have purchased the home.
I cannot think of a good reason to forgo a home inspection. As a real estate agent I certainly would not allow my parents buy a home without having the home inspected. Reasons buyers have decided not to have a home inspection have included time constraints, the cost of the inspection or someone they trusted gave them wrong advice. None of these reasons are valid. Taking the time, spending the money and ignoring bad advice now could prevent you from spending hours and thousands of dollars dealing with problems that could have been discovered and avoided.
