A home inspection is a visual, non-exhaustive, yet detailed examination of the condition of a home. Most home inspections are conducted at the time of the sale known as  buyers inspection. Home inspections conducted by sellers known as a pre-sale inspection. Home inspectors will examine all functional components of a home to ensure proper operation. A home is one of the most important purchases one will ever make and a home inspection is an inexpensive way to discover the universal condition of a home. It's critical to conduct a home inspection which is help you avoid a costly mistake by purchasing a property in need of major repairs.  Most home buyers are so caught up in the moment, especially if they feel like they have found their 'dream home.' This euphoric feeling will push you to overlook potential problems.
