The process can be stressful. A home inspection is supposed to give you peace of mind, but
often has the opposite effect. You will be asked to absorb a lot of information in a short time. This
includes a written report, photographs and what the inspector himself says during the inspection.
All this combined with the seller's disclosure and what you notice yourself makes the experience
even more overwhelming. What should you do?
Relax. Most of your inspection will be maintenance recommendations and minor imperfections.
These are nice to know about. However, the issues that really matter will fall into four categories:
1. Major defects. An example of this would be a structural failure.
2. Things that lead to major defects. A small roof-flashing leak, for example.
3. Things that may hinder your ability to finance, legally occupy or insure the
home.
4. Safety hazards, such as an exposed, live buss bar at the electric panel.
Anything in these categories should be addressed. Often a serious problem can
be corrected inexpensively to protect both life and property .
I find that most sellers are honest and are often surprised to learn of defects uncovered
during an inspection. Remember that sellers are under no obligation to repair everything
mentioned in the report. No home is perfect. Keep things in perspective.
