What to Expect in Home Inspections

You will have to go through several inspections of your new home before closing. First is appraisal, so the bank can decide how much the home is worth. Then a termite inspection, done by a specialist. You should also have a general inspector come. That way you can establish what will be the seller’s responsibility and what will be your responsibility as a buyer. Once you receive the inspection, if you do not approve, you can cancel the purchase without penalty. Finally, you’ll have a final walk-through inspection. Revisit the property to make sure all changes were made and the house is in the condition you requested.
