Having your prospective new home thoroughly inspected by a competent, licensed inspector prior to the completion of your transaction will protect you against costly problems that become visible following your purchase. Knowing the most competent inspectors and having knowledge about the inspections your home should have are all very important. There are so many areas of possible concern; dry rot in the structure, roofing, siding, plumbing, electrical, siding, heating, and appliances just to name a few. 

Knowing which inspections to order is essential. The two inspections that will always give you your best coverage are the Termite and Dry Rot inspection and the All Home inspection. The Termite and Dry Rot inspection will determine if the home has any major insect infestations or dry rot problems. The All Home inspection will look at the home's systems such as electrical, plumbing, appliances, roof, paint, etc. These inspections will save you from any major surprises down the road. 

Finding reputable inspectors that will serve your needs is important. You will want to research this, obtain references and interview. Don't be afraid to ask for names of past clients and call them. Your HomeBuyer Specialist should also have a list of reputable inspectors for you. Your HomeBuyer Specialist works with these inspectors on a daily basis and will know who the best ones are.
