General Home Inspection

The inspection report

The inspection report is of outmost importance. The report is the oficial, legal document that reports on the condition of the house being inspected. Inspectors are licensed by the state of Texas exclusively for that, to write a report that would allow the buyer to make a decision based on the inspection report results.

In Texas, use of the TREC Standard Inspection Report Form is required. This form is designed to provide consistency in reporting for inspectors and clients. The purpose of the inspection is to provide the client with information regarding the general condition of the residence at the time of inspection.

Did you know?

A home inspection can reveal issues you might otherwise not know about, providing you with the opportunity to address them before buying your home.

Pass or fail home inspection.

Truth be told, a home cannot fail an inspection. A professional home inspection gives you an independent, unbiased view of any problems and their solutions, so that you will have all the facts you need to make a sound, informed decision. Depending on the size and condition of the home, a thorough home inspection should take no more than 3 hours. It is recommended to accompany your inspector during the consultation, so that you will have visual reinforcement of your written report.

The inspection report breaks down these varied systems into categories, and documents their condition (for example, whether an item is in working condition, requires repair, etc.)

The easy to read report is your guide for you to take an educated decision whether you should move forward with the home purchase or whether you should keep looking for a better home.

There are different factors to consider, it the home you are buying is not a new build home, expect normal wear and tear, and some other deterioration according to the age of the home.
