Welcome

What are the reasons a home and termite inspections is performed?When a home is bought or sold, a professional home and termite inspections is generally part of the transaction. The request for a home and termite inspections is generally made by the parties offering to purchase (contract of sale) a home. Built into the contract is a contingency clause that requires a home and termite inspections prior to closing on the property. The reasons are obvious. Lenders may require a professional home and termite inspections as part of the mortgage application process because they want to protect their interest in the property by learning about any current or potential problems that may affect its value. The buyer wants a professional evaluation of the property so that detected problems may be considered prior to purchase. The buyer wants to make sure that the house is sound and not a high risk of termite infestation. Should a home inspection reveal potential problems, the buyer may elect to void the contract or reduce the price offered. Seller may want to have an inspection performed before placing a property on the market. With a home inspection prior to placing the property on the market, the seller can better assess the property's value, correct any defects that might impair a sale, and avoid problems at closing or at some later time.
