Coordinate with your seller on the best time and date to complete the inspection. Clear the property of any clutter and obstructions.
It helps if the seller can inform the inspector of any issues that they might know about and provide documentation if available. Secure any pets and turn on all utilities for proper inspection.
-
While there are no specific laws that require building and pest inspections before buying a home, it’s better to get one. Without it, you could end up buying a home with structural or pest-related problems that will cost you more money in the future.
Discovered issues could also cause health and safety problems. You can them early on and even use the report to negotiate a lower buying price if issues do surface.
-
If a report comes back and you aren’t happy with the condition of the home and want to back out, you’re allowed to. But there’s a slight chance you won’t fully get your earnest downpayment back. Try to convince the seller to lower the sale rate or address the issues before you complete the purchase process.
