Do You Need to Hire a Home Inspector?

do you need a home inspector - north florida land for sale

Many people who are buying a home – particularly first time buyers – aren’t quite sure whether they need to hire a home inspector. After all, it’s entirely possible to test outlets, visually inspect roofing materials and look for cracks that could betray a sinking foundation without adding the expense of hiring a home inspector.

However, there’s a bit more to a successful home inspection than you may realize.

What Home Inspectors Actually Do

It’s a home inspector’s job to evaluate a home’s overall condition. That includes safety and a number of other factors that could impact your decision to buy or not to buy.

Home inspectors look for things such as:

  • Bad wiring
  • Fire hazards
  • Foundational problems
  • Hidden defects throughout the home

Because home inspectors are required to participate in specialized training that teaches them how to evaluate nearly every aspect of a home, it’s usually a good idea to hire one; it helps to ensure that you’re not making a bad choice that will come back to haunt you down the road.

What to Ask Your Home Inspector

Before you hire a home inspector, you can – and should – conduct several “interviews” to find someone you can trust.

Some of the questions you should ask your home inspector include:

  • Are you bonded and insured?
  • Do you also perform repairs?
  • Where can I find your references?
  • May I be present during the inspection?
  • What does your inspection include?
  • Do you have any areas of special expertise?

Naturally, you’ll also want to know about your home inspectors fees. However, as with nearly everything, a home inspector’s fees aren’t as important as his or her skill and talent.
