Areas Commonly Missed Out by Home Inspectors (part 1 of 2)

Although the home inspection process can be a thorough process, still there are areas that are commonly missed out by home inspectors. But this however, is but a tip for home owners who may wish to have their homes inspected, whether for personal satisfaction and security or whether you are planning to have a house sold in the market. But let us first get to the importance on the need to have a home inspection.

The home inspector is trained to know the ins and outs of how home systems work and intended to function together, even the causes and extent of why these systems can fail.

Most importantly, many interested home buyers usually find it difficult to remain completely uninformed or unaware of the type, make or design of the house they really want, which usually clouds their judgment and sometimes make decisions without having it thoroughly or intelligently considered.

Ideally, a professional home inspection is an examination of the current condition of a house either up for sale or in the process of being bought.
It is far different and distinct from a home appraisal, especially one that determines a home’s value.

It is also different from a municipal inspection, which is primarily conducted to verify or establish compliance of local building and safety codes.

 A home inspector, therefore, will not pass or fail a house, but rather evaluate its physical condition and determine which components and systems may need to go through major repair or replacement.

Here is a list of some common areas missed out during inspections and is intended to inform homeowners about the need to also have these areas checked for possible problems and the need for upgrades or repairs, if any. Sometimes because it is often concealed from view or plain sight, smoke detectors sometimes are missed out during the inspection process. So make sure that if in case it is not checked, you may ask the home inspector to include it in the inspection checklist as well.
