An inspection prior to making an offer on a property will help to ensure there are no unforeseen issues that could influence your decision. Buying a home is a big decision, perhaps one of the biggest in your life. Try not to let emotions get in the way of doing as much as you possibly can to ensure your new home is what you think it is. The cost of a home inspection is very minor compared to the purchase price of the home or the cost of fixing a problem you weren’t aware of. Consider a home inspection so that you can feel confident about what you are buying.
