Purchasing a house can indeed be the biggest and largest single investment one can ever make and the importance of a home inspection is simply to recognize and fix any unpleasant and unexpected surprises or difficulties. Surely, who wouldn’t want to know everything that there is to know and be aware of in a newly constructed or existing house.
It is during the inspection process that an owner gets to know the degree of upgrades or repairs that a home may need to make, as well as identify the need for major repairs or the need to correct builder oversights, if any.
Even if you do not plan to sell or buy a house, a home inspection can also help identify problems that could arise with your existing home and suggest preventive measures that can surely help prevent costly repairs that could occur in the future.
