What Does a Home Inspection Cover?
Most home-buyers will get a home inspection done before they agree to pay for the property. These include a variety of checks that an expert carries out. The specific inspections may vary, depending on the property and inspector, however, they will generally look at the property’s:
- heating system
- interior plumbing system
- electrical systems
- the central air conditioning system
- insulation (in the roof and attic)
- the foundation and structural components
- and the walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and floors.
Home inspections are designed to give the buyer a better picture of the quality of the property. Home inspections cover a lot, but not everything. For example, a home inspector won’t be checking a property for pest problems. This is where you need to have a pest inspection.
Why Should You Invest in a Pest Control Inspection Before You Buy?
Pest control inspections may be necessary before you can access your mortgage or loans. Some lenders require a full pest inspection to be completed before any financing is given. Some loans may also require you to provide a clearance letter, to verify that the inspection took place and that any issues were dealt with.
