Residential Inspection
Why every home owner should have a home inspection...
Before you purchase your new home you should have a home inspection to ensure that the "home of your dreams" does not turn out to be a nightmare.
American Property Consultants is just the company to inform you of damage and defects before it is too late!
When are they performed?
There are three main times when home inspections are performed: Pre-purchase, Pre-sale, and before 1 yr. warranty expiration. Pre-purchase is after buyers have signed a contract in which they have made the contract contingent upon the outcome of a home inspection . Pre-sale inspections are done for the sellers to aid them in preparing their house for sale. Having a home inspection performed on your new home before your 1 year warranty expires is vital to inform you of problems existing in the home before the warranty expiration.
A home inspection which is a contract contingency, must be performed within 10 days after the contract is signed. Most home inspectors prefer to have the buyer present during the inspection so they can see first-hand any conditions identified by the home inspector. This reduces the number or questions that may arise after a home inspection is performed and aids in completing the contract contingency.
