Whether you are a current homeowner or
are setting out to buy a home, there is one element of the selling
and buying process that is critical to the entire process – the
home inspection. A home inspection is a thorough analysis of the
overall condition of the home. Since a house is one of the largest
investments that most people will make in a lifetime, it only makes
sense that every Buyer and or Seller would want a complete inspection
performed.
At From the Ground Up, our licensed and
certified home inspectors are committed to providing superior
services to both buyers and sellers. Our experts are here to provide
all our clients with accurate professional inspections that, when
conducted, will help buyers to avoid a costly mistake by purchasing a
home that is in need of major expensive repairs. Regardless of how
big or small your property may be our expert teams are here to handle
all your inspection needs.
Buying Your Murfreesboro Dream Home
Every home Buyer eventually finds that
one house they truly believe is their dream home. However, until
they contract one of our top of the line professional home inspectors
to conduct a concise inspection and evaluation of the home, they
cannot be sure that their house of choice is truly what it appears to
be. The professionals at From the Ground Up will conduct an
inspection of the overall general condition of the home. Though your
Murfreesboro home of choice may look move in ready, our inspectors
may very well find a critical problem with the home that requires
immediate attention.
We will inspect and cover all elements
of the home. From electrical wiring, plumbing and roofing, to
insulation and structural features, our dedicated inspectors cover it
all. There are many times when our inspector will unveil an issue
that was simply not noticeable to the human eye. Because we fully
understand the huge investment you are making, we are focused on
helping you to recognize just what you are actually about to
purchase.
The Many Types of Home Inspections
to Perform on Your Murfreesboro Property
- There is a wide range of home inspection processes that should be conducted on your potential new home before making a purchase. One of the most important of all inspections is a general residential inspection. During this inspection, our professionals will inspect the structure, roof, electrical, exterior, plumbing, interior, HVAC, ventilation and insulation. Upon completion of this inspection our dedicated team member will provide you with a detailed report itemizing any issues that are present and any repairs or improvements that must be made. Typically, improvements and repairs are necessary to bring the home up to required standards before a purchase can be made.
If we find serious
problems that can be quite costly to repair, potential buyers can use
these issues as a bargaining tool to bring down the sale price of the
home. If you are determined it is this home you want, then surely
you want to negotiate with the Seller. You can negotiate for a lower
purchase price, a credit from the Seller, or insist that the Seller
pay for the necessary repairs before the closing. In some cases,
people will simply purchase the home as is, or many will even walk
away if the issues uncovered are way too problematic.
- Another critical inspection that our professional teams will conduct for you is a termite inspection. Our From the Ground Up certified inspector looks for signs of structural damage caused by termites. Typically this horrible little critters can and will cause serious problems down the road.
- Yet another inspection we advise our clients to perform is that of a radon inspection. This radioactive gaseous element is considered hazardous to health. The Radon gas can accumulate in a home over time specifically in areas such as the attic and the basement. Our expert inspector will utilize a special radon kit that will be placed within the home for a period of time from two to seven days. Once the required time has passed, we will send along the kit to our lab for an analysis. Many home inspectors do not perform radon tests, but at From the Ground Up we handle it all. There is no inspection process that is too complicated for our teams and no inspection we cannot perform.
- Additional inspections that we will perform include oil tank testing, water testing, and septic testing, all of which are important elements of the overall condition of the home. Our inspectors are all certified, trained and licensed to perform all types of home inspections and are committed to doing so in timelines that are comfortable and convenient for all our Murfreesboro clients.
Attending your Home Inspection
If it is convenient to your schedule,
we at From the Ground Up strongly suggest you attend your home
inspection. Dedicating a good 3 to 5 hours to perform all
inspections, our superior staff will recommend any necessary repairs
and improvements and will even assist potential buyers in finding the
skilled professionals needed to complete all the repairs. Keep in
mind, however, that our inspectors are not responsible for performing
repairs, but merely on advising you of repairs that must be made.
As the Buyer,
your home inspection with provide you with the peace of mind needed
to know that the home you are about to purchase is in good shape and
free of serious issues. As we mentioned earlier, you can use the
results of your home inspection as a bargaining or negotiating tool
at closing. You can negotiate an adjusted sale price of the home,
especially if the repairs our inspector tells you to make are costly
fixes. The Seller may decide that they prefer to pay for all the
repairs out of pocket and not adjust the sale price of the home.
Regardless of how the repairs are handled, whether an adjustment to
the sale price, or an out of pocket expense to the Seller, the
important thing to keep in mind is that the repairs must be performed
so as not to present the Buyer with greater and more costly problems
down the road.
