Structural inspection
contingencies are a common feature of offers. A buyer is allowed a certain
period of time to have an expert look over the home--the structure, plumbing,
wiring, roof, and appliances that they will have a good idea of what they are
getting into.
How do you find the right inspector? Look for an
expert on pre-purchase home inspections, not simply a renovation contractor or a
friend who can tell copper from galvanized pipes. There are specialists in most
cities, or you can obtain a list from a Realtor in town. Ask for
recommendations from friends who have recently purchased homes. Most inspectors
have some background in building or engineering, and have had additional
training related specifically to residences. Call several companies, and ask
about the background and training of the staff, as well as their rates.
