Southern Ocean County Home Inspection

Southern Ocean County Real Estate

Buying a home in the Southern Ocean County real estate market is a major investment and one that should not be taken lightly. One of the best ways to protect this investment is by conducting a home inspection. A home inspection is a visual overview of a property performed by a licensed inspection company. While most would agree that this is an essential step, it is important to understand what is and what is not covered in the Southern Ocean County home inspection.

As a homebuyer, you do have a right to choose whoever you would like to perform the inspection
An inspection is intended to uncover visual issues only new
A home inspection is intended to seek out safety and structural issues, not cosmetic flaws

Like any profession, there are a wide range of options to choose from when picking a Southern Ocean County home inspector. Some inspectors are better than others so it is important to insure that whoever you choose is both qualified and experienced in the local market. This is especially important in the wake of Hurricane Sandy where damage may have occurred to homes in areas like Beach Haven West and it is paramount that the inspector have knowledge of what to look for in such a situation. It is important for any buyer to realize that a home inspection is a visual overview. The home inspector is not permitted to remove items from the house, open walls, etc. Therefore, the inspection is limited to accessible areas so any cause for concern should be followed up or addressed in the Sellers Property Condition Disclosure. It is also important to understand that a home inspection is intended to address safety issues, structural issues, or conditions which may impact the value of the home. Generally speaking, things such as paint, stained rugs, etc. are not covered nor is it reasonable to see a credit for such issues. Rather, it is important to focus on major issues such as electric, plumbing and structural integrity of a home.
