What Are The Big House Problems?

Knowing the biggest and most major problems of the home is probably the most important part of the entire home inspection report. You can review the report on your own and with your inspector and ask them to help you prioritize the problems. You'll want to clearly understand which ones you need to fix immediately and how much it will cost you to do so. You can then evaluate if there are major problems that are big enough that could prevent you from purchasing the home.

What Are The Small House Problems?

Although small problems tend to not be as critical as big ones, it's still important to know what you're dealing with. If there are enough small problems, this might end up feeling like one big one and cause quite the head ache. After you understand the big and small issues in the report, you can be discuss these with your realtor and see if you can take some money off of your asking price for the home.

Are There Any Issues That Require An Expert?

It's not the home inspectors duty to tell you exactly how much it would cost to fix the home issues, but he/she can advise whether or not you should call in another specialist to see how much it would cost to actually fix the problems. A specialist can dive deeper and further diagnose exactly what the problem is and provide an accurate quote for the job. Having a quote from a specialist will help you as the buyer have grounds to lower your asking price.
