What
is a home inspection?
A home
inspection is a professional consulting service that helps homebuyers
make the biggest financial decision of their life. Home inspectors are
hired to inspect houses and provide written reports to clients. This
allows homebuyers to make better purchase
decisions by addressing some of the fundamental questions that arise
when buying a home. Is the house structurally sound? Is it safe? What
kind of repairs may be in order? Are there any major expenses? Home
inspection has become a part of most real estate transactions in North
America.
A home inspection is an in-field performance evaluation of the current
physical condition of a home. The steady growth of consumer demand for
inspections is encouraged by consumer advocacy groups, real estate professionals,
and government organizations.
