Home Inspector Portland
Before closing on a home, it's usually necessary to have a home inspection performed to detect all the problems with the home. But who accounts for the repair costs to fix those issues? Do sellers have to fix everything on home inspections?
No, not everything. Most of the time, sellers cover repair costs for problems that pose major safety and health threats, such as problems with roofing, structure, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC systems, water damage, mold, and pest infestations.
Top tip for buyers: try not to to get sellers to deal with aesthetic issues such as unsightly paint colors, out-of-date fixtures, dirty carpets, or any typical signs of wear and tear. You can easily fix these by yourself to avoid difficult negotiations.
Top tip for sellers: you can take care of major repairs and save expenses by getting a seller's home inspection before listing your home. With this, you can have major issues repaired and enhance interested buyers' confidence.
