What is a Home Inspection?

A Florida home inspection is an objective examination of the condition of the visible and accessible components of a home.

Home buyers now entering the marketplace view inspections as a way to gain valuable information about the biggest purchase of their lifetime. It helps them to determine whether there are any major defects or system inadequacies before they buy, and it minimizes any unpleasant surprises or significant financial burdens later on.

Florida home inspections are not intended to point out every small problem or defect in a home. Minor or cosmetic flaws, for example, should be apparent without the aid of a professional. The inspection also should not be confused with an appraisal, a municipal code inspection, or a guarantee of any kind.

An important aspect of a Florida home inspection is that they also highlight the positive of a home. In fact, many of the home inspector's observations or recommendations help to dispel home buyers anxieties, and provide useful home repair and maintenance suggestions.

The Florida home inspector's service is primarily one of education. The goal of the inspector is to provide buyers with a better understanding of the physical condition of their prospective home so that they can make a more informed decision.

Inspection Costs

The inspection fee for a typical one-family house varies as does the cost of housing. Similarly the inspection fee may vary depending upon the size of the house, particular features of the house, its age, and possible services.

Do not let cost be a factor in deciding whether or not to have  a home inspection, or in the selection of your home inspector. The knowledge gained from an inspection is well worth the cost,  and the lowest-priced inspector is not necessarily a bargain. The inspector's qualifications, including experience, training, and professional affiliations, should be the most important considerations.
