Highlands NC real estate transactions include home inspections. The home inspection is important, very important. This will enable a buyer to understand the condition of a home. This helps avoid finding the unexpected when taking possession. Choosing the right inspector is important and equally important is understanding what is included in a Highlands NC home inspection.
Your Highlands NC REALTOR will help you find a reputable home inspector. Your inspector will share a checklist with you that will outline what will be examined. There are some items that may need further analysis, in which case a specialist may be required.
What is not covered by a typical home inspection? A thorough chimney inspection for one thing. Your inspector will do a basic check to see that the flue opens and a quick peek looking up. But, to find out how much creosote exists you will probably need to hire a professional chimney/fireplace inspector.
Another thing an inspector will not do is move furniture. This may mean a vent won’t get inspected or an outlet won’t get checked. It also could mean that you miss an issue with flooring. Items that may require further inspection or testing by a specialist include mold, radon, or the foundation.
