Dean Graziosi on House Inspection: How Important is to Have Your Home

Inspected

When a seller is going to transfer his property to the buyer, one of the most important steps involved in

the completion of the deal is inspection of your house. Inspection of a house or property is very necessary

irrespective of its type. In most of the States, it is mandatory to have your house inspected before you

finalize any deed on transfer of the property.

Why Home Inspection is Necessary:

There are various reasons why home inspection is necessary. One of the reasons is demand of the buyers.

Almost all of the buyers are unaware of the conditions of the property. They do not know what material is

used in the building, who was residing in the building, how many days was it kept closed etc. It is right of

a buyer to know about all possible factors of the house.

Dean Graziosi suggests all of the buyers to ask the seller for an inspection report. An inspection report of

the property will give a clear cut representation of the house. An inspection report makes it easier for the

buyer to evaluate what kind of repair and maintenance works are needed. The report will lower any risks

and uncertainties associated with purchase of the unknown property.

If you are owner of a house and you do not intend to sell the house for a while, home inspection is

essential in that case as well. Having your home inspected will save any extra costs you might encounter

in case there is some sudden repair and maintenance required.
