Before you close on your future home, you need to have it inspected by an official home inspector. Here are the things that need to be checked.
Make sure to have the inspector look at the structure of the home. They should be searching for cracks or damage in the foundation, walls, ceilings, and floors.
The inspector should also take a look at the roof of the home. Their assessment will give you a good sense of when you will need to have it replaced.
Internal systems are another important part of the inspection. The inspector should assess the condition of the furnace, air conditioning system, and other appliances.
