The Benefits Of A Quality Home Inspection Atlanta Expert Provide

By Della Monroe


Being a new homeowner can be one of the most exciting times of one's life. Of course, much of the excitement and happiness can dissipate quickly when they've entered a structure that has serious issues and turns into a money pit. Read on to find out what a quality home inspection Atlanta expert can do for investors in real estate.

Just like everywhere across the United States, and Atlanta, GA included, there are state and municipal construction codes that need to be respected. An inspector knows of them, unlike most average consumers. As such, an exceptional inspector can protect homeowners and their investment from having to spend tens of thousands of dollars to repair their structure.

Certainly, there is the case of hidden defects. An inspector is not meant to tear apart the structure. Such defects would have to be completely hidden from view, even from the experienced and qualified professional. However, such a professional can see many defects that an unsuspecting consumer would not. For instance, he would see the quality workmanship involved in the bricks and mortar, and provide an estimation as to the remainder of its lifespan. Keep in mind that numerous brick walls have tumbled over.

There could be issues with the roof, that for the untrained eye would go unnoticed, but not so for an experienced inspector. A new roof could cost in the tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the damage. Repairs could cost a few thousand.

Consider that the dream property was used as a grow up. It's possible that even the vendors didn't know about it if they had rented their property. It could've also been used in this way before they were the owners. All that said, it can leave dangerous mold behind that can cause numerous conditions in both the old and the young that could even cause death. It is possible that a trained inspector may be able to uncover such situations.

Another benefit that comes with a building inspection is that the buyer is better protected in a court of law. So, if there was any kind of issue hidden from the buyer from the vendor, the courts would rule in favor of the buyer if the inspection had been completed. So, it leaves room for recourse.

Also, stating that, on the offer to purchase, it is all subjected to a building inspection, it can protect buyers from being locked into a contract they want to get out of for the basis of the results of that inspection. At the same time, they could use that information to renegotiate terms and the purchase price, depending on what it would cost them to correct those problems.

It's plain to see that mandating this professional goes without say. First off, buyers can protect themselves financially, and they can benefit by renegotiating those terms, as above. They can also learn various important information about the structure they are going to move into. Moreover, they can trust in their reputable home inspector because he is a professional bound to the rules of his association. Not playing by the rules would lead him to lose his license.
