Home Inspector Portland
Before closing on a home, it's usually necessary to have a home inspection done to detect all the issues with the property. But who's responsible 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 address repair costs for issues that pose major health and safety hazards, such as issues with structure, roofing, plumbing, wiring,, HVAC systems, water damage, mold, and pest infestations.
Top tip for buyers: try not to to ask sellers to deal with cosmetic issues such as unsightly paint colors, outdated fixtures, dirty carpets, or any usual signs of wear and tear. You can easily fix these by yourself to steer clear of stressful 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. By doing this, you can have serious issues repaired and enhance potential buyers' confidence.
