 |
Any home you are considering for purchase should be inspected. A new home may have defects which should be brought to your attention; inspecting an older home may reveal both positive and negative features which you missed in earlier visits. |
 |
When should I schedule my Home Inspection? |
|
|
Most buyers schedule an inspection when they have found a home they want to buy and have had their offer to buy accepted. Usually the completion of the sale is contingent upon the completion of a satisfactory home inspection. |
|
What should I look for in a Home Inspection professional? |
|
|
You should hire a local independent company that conforms to nationally recognized standards. Downeast Home Inspections exceeds the strict standards of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). You get a professional inspection and a comprehensive written report, scheduled and completed to meet your timetable. |
|
Who gets a copy of the Inspection Report? |
|
|
Your inspection report is prepared exclusively for you. At your request we will release a copy of the report to your broker or agent so they may better represent your interests. |
|
Can a house "fail" an inspection? |
|
|
An inspector will not pass or fail a house. A professional home inspection is simply an examination of the current condition of the house. An inspector describes the house's condition and notes items in need of immediate repair or replacement. |
|
Can I attend the Home Inspection? |
|
|
Absolutely! We go out of our way to make your participation possible! You will benefit by touring the home, asking questions, and expressing your concerns. After all, this may be your new home! |
|
How do I get the most value from my home inspection? |
|
|
You should attend the inspection, take notes, ask questions, read your report, and call us at Downeast Home Inspections if you have any questions about the report or the home. |
