Buyer Inspection

There are many reasons for buyers to invest in a home inspection: to be informed about any potential additional costs that could incur after closing; to find any issues that could be a deal breaker; or just to make an informed decision before purchasing what is likely to be the largest single investment of your life. Hidden defects can quickly turn into a costly proposition. Seemingly little things, like cracked tile, may be the result of common settling or a more serious structural defect. Inadequate insulation leading to higher energy costs, especially in sunny South Florida, can add up financially over the long term.

Florida’s Favorite Home Inspections, Inc. will thoroughly inspect the home, and provide a clear summary of all the problems so you have a good understanding of the condition of the home. Having your new home professionally inspected, as early as possible in the buying process, could enable you to negotiate the purchase price. Alternatively, the seller may also be willing to correct the problems found by the home inspector, which could save you thousands of dollars on repairs. Any indicated repairs can be made well in advance of closing, helping to avoid potentially stressful and costly delays, and helping to save money that could go toward a down payment on the next home. As soon as closing documents are signed, all of the home’s issues will be the responsibility of the new owner.

You have the right to have your potential new home carefully examined by a certified home inspector and may arrange to do so before or after signing your contract. We work for you, the buyer, and provide unbiased valuable information and an evaluation that goes far beyond what the untrained eye can see. As a South Florida home buyer, we urge you to attend your inspection; it's a first-hand education with helpful home maintenance suggestions.

An inspection with Florida’s Favorite, is almost always less than the amount of money the inspection will save you in the long run. Furthermore, the value of the information and negotiation tool it can provide alone could save you many times the cost of the inspection.

foreclosure inspection

Foreclosures

In a foreclosure scenario it’s probable that before the previous owners stopped making mortgage payments, they put required maintenance tasks on hold. One of the major problems commonly found by home inspectors at foreclosure properties is moisture intrusion. Left unobserved and untreated, moisture leads to leaks and mold, which can wreak havoc on a home and require expensive remediation. During a home foreclosure inspection, we come prepared by utilizing infrared thermography, and we can offer laboratory mold testing at the same time.

The Goal

The goal of a buyer inspection is to uncover any hidden issues that may impact the value of the property. By identifying these issues early on, buyers can negotiate repairs or pricing with the seller or opt out of purchasing altogether if necessary. A buyer inspection also provides peace of mind for the buyer knowing they have made an informed decision based on the true condition of the property. Overall, a buyer inspection is a critical component of the home buying process that should never be skipped over.
