If you're thinking about buying a home, you should always try to request a home inspection be done. However, the outcome of the inspection report should not be your only determining factor of whether or not you decide to buy the property. You should consider the home inspection report against the desirability of the property, how much money the buyer or seller has available to correct the defects, and the agent's ability to have the items repaired without affecting her client's net profit.
If you're thinking about purchasing a brand new home, you would expect everything to be in perfect working condition, like new. But you wouldn't expect to discover any dark stains on the flooring, sagging wood frames around doors, cracked foundations, clanging plumbing-just a property in tiptop shape.
When you consider the purchase of a resale home in tiptop condition, it won't stay around very long-regardless of how hot the marketplace is. There are many reasons why homebuyers prefer it to the purchase of a resale home. A resale home is quick to move into, you get exactly what you see, and the home has an established history to it such as landscaping and schools.
If you still decide to purchase a new property after comparing all the advantages and disadvantages of buying a new home versus an older one, you should be aware that you won't find the same elements as a mature older community. The only advantage you will get from purchasing a new property is that everything will be in tiptop working condition. You would expect to see fewer defects and problems with a new home compared to an older one. However, certain defects such as sagging floors in a new home won't be tolerated by a home buyer. The buyer will want to have this defect repaired to new condition. However, if a buyer decides to buy a resale property, it would not be surprising to encounter this defect. A homebuyer knows that a secondhand home will have some wear and tear.
When you have a home inspection performed, the results will tell you how perfect the home's air conditioning system is, the efficiency of the home's heating system, how modern the plumbing is, the safety of the electrical system, the roof's condition, attic, effectiveness of insulation, and condition of the walls, floors, ceiling, doors, and windows. When buying a brand new home, most homebuyers expect to see these systems in perfect operating condition, like new. If you're purchasing a secondhand property, you'll find the most purchase contract have a clause that states the buyer will purchase the property in its current condition. Because of this as-is condition paragraph, most homebuyers want to protect themselves by inserting a home inspection contingency clause in their sales contract.
As you take a look at the inspection report, you need to keep in mind that if you alter the original offer contract with the new one, it will cancel the original contract and become the new contract on the bargaining table.
