Traditionally, a Home Check is performed under the instructions of a buyer who is more interested to find out if the desired potential house has major issues or not. However, sellers can also benefit from a Home Check since they can have a strong leverage point on the negotiation table.
Buyer
Potential home buyers often hire Home Inspectors to research a property and acquire a written report that details its condition, including assessing necessary or recommended repairs, maintenance concerns, and any other potentially costly issues. The home inspector will assess the physical structure of the home, from the foundation to the roof and the home’s systems. This assessment will determine if the home is up to code. A home inspection can tell a homebuyer a lot about a newly constructed home or an existing house and save them money and aggravation.
Summary of the Home Check benefits:
- Awareness on hidden problems of a property
- Direction to the right professionals to get fixing costs
- Buyer potentially gain leverage for bargaining
- Buyer will have more confidence on buying a property
