A professional home inspector should be one of the first people you call when your offer to purchase a home has been accepted. A home inspector will go over your home with a fine tooth comb and provide a detailed report on the condition of the home. He will check the condition of your roof, your AC unit, your electrical and plumbing systems. Your inspector will check for structural problems, and code violations. Some inspectors even do thermal imaging scans to check for hot spots or leaks that may indicate major problems with the home. |
In our Arizona contract, you are entitled to a 10-day period to conduct any inspections you deem necessary. If something comes up during the inspection that is unacceptable to you, and you can cancel the contract and have your earnest money deposit returned. You can also ask the Seller to remedy the problem prior to COE as an alternative. This 10-day inspection period is your opportunity for due diligence, so check out everything that is important to you. Use the AZRDE Buyer’s Advisory as a resource.
