Homeowners’ can rest assured when they undergo a pre-closing home inspection that the home they are about to invest in is sound and secure. This is a vital step in the home purchasing process to protect your interests. 

THE FINAL WALK-THROUGH

Unfortunately, many homebuyers do not complete the pre-closing inspection prior to signing on the dotted line. Imagine discovering after closing that there are electrical problems, a roof in drastic need of repair or cracks in the foundation. While everything may look skookum to the untrained eye, it is essential to have a professional comb over every inch to provide you with a complete picture. It can be devastating for homeowners to maximize their mortgage on securing a property, only to discover that there are thousands of dollars required for asbestos removal or plumbing issues that need to be addressed. A pre-closing home inspection protects the buyer and the seller.

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

Your home purchase one of the largest financial investments you will ever make. It is amazing how damaging water issues, fire hazards, bug infestations, and poor energy efficiency can be to your bottom line. Home Logic Inspections offers a comprehensive and detailed report outlining which priority items need to be fixed and which can wait. Your inspection report is a valid way to ensure you are paying a fair asking price. Many clients are happy to see that the home they are interested in has been over-engineered in specific areas. Other clients are able to negotiate a lower purchasing price due to the details in the report. Once the closing has been completed, the selling party has no further obligations.
