I always encourage my Buyers to have a Home Inspection done on a property they are in contract on. Some of my clients ask why they need a home inspection when it comes to buying a home. Most of them ask not because of ignorance but because they look at it as a cost saving measure (inspections in Columbus & Central Ohio typically run between $225 - $300) I can not stress enough that this is not the place that you want to shave your budget.
Although a home may look in perfect working order when we walk through it there are many, many items that we might not see that could become a potential hazard after you already own the home. A licensed home inspector is trained to test and examine everything in your home from the plumbing all the way to the roof. At the end of their inspection (typically 2 hours) they will hand you and me your REALTOR a copy of their findings.
That information can then be used to help decide what work needs done to the house, if any, and what needs to be addressed with the Sellers in the contract.
An inspection is not something to take lightly. But on the other hand both Seller and Buyer need to be reasonable. Keep in mind as a Buyer you really need to get the Home Inspection, it can be the difference between home ownership bliss and unwanted surprises!
