A professional home inspection protects both you and the buyer. It allows both you and the buyer the opportunity to learn about the property's defects.
A home inspection usually covers the following:
Plumbing conditions - if there is leakage or clogging
Roofing conditions - the extent of deterioration, if there is leakage
Electrical conditions - if there are inadequate circuits or potential fire hazards
Structural problems - if there are problems with the underlying foundation of your home
As a seller, the home inspection reports protects you because it establishes the actual condition of the property at the time of sale.
