Now as your real estate agent or attorney has advised, it is important to have a professional, completely impartial inspection as soon as possible. Then if repairs are indicated, they can be made well ahead of time avoiding stressful and sometimes costly delays in the closing.
An inspection report does not pass or fail a home. The report simply describes the condition and indicates items which may need repair or replacement. It is a confidential report given to you solely for your use.
Most banks and mortgage companies require professional inspections for homes older than five years, but it is important to know the home you’re buying even if it is new.
