To Inspect or Not To Inspect

Many buyers often have questions about what inspections to have completed on a new home purchase. The easiest answer is this: whatever gives you peace of mind to purchase the home.

The choices for inspections are (almost) limitless:

HVAC

Roof

Plumbing

Electrical

Termite

Radon

Well

Septic

Water Quality

Some buyers choose to forego these inspections and do a whole house inspection. Some counties/cities/states have mandatory inspections that must be completed for each sale.

As you are touring homes and narrowing down your search, consider what inspections will give you peace of mind. What things would keep you up at night if you didn’t know everything about the performance of that item. That’s exactly what should be ordered when you do write an offer on your new home.
