Questions to Ask Your Home Inspector in Carlsbad, California
When you buy a Carlsbad, San Diego home, you need to know
exactly what you’re buying. Imagine how frustrated you’d be to find out that
the hot water heater wasn’t working—in the middle of a shower! This is why you
should have a home inspection before you buy your home. A home inspection is an
important part of buying your home. Before you hire a home inspector, ask
candidates a few questions to make sure you hire a trustworthy inspector.
1. What
does your inspection cover? Not all inspections are the same. Ask for copies of
previous home inspections so you can see exactly what
they will check inside the Carlsbad, San Diego home. If you are concerned about
something specific, like a leaky faucet in the bathroom, mention that to the
inspector so they can check it out.
2. Are
you licensed or certified? If you live in a state that licenses home inspectors,
ask to see their license. At the very least, choose a home inspector who
belongs to American
Society of Home Inspectors. This shows a level of professionalism
and education that you can trust.
3. What
kind of report will you give me? You should expect a written report detailing
what the inspector found. Most inspectors will give you a typed report within a
week of the inspection. Make sure the inspector will be available to explain
anything on the report that doesn’t make sense to you.
4. Will
I be able to attend the inspection? If the inspector refuses to let you be
present during the home inspection, find someone else. This is your chance to
know exactly what you are buying and what potential repairs you or the seller will have to make.
