Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need a home inspection?
Buying a home is most likely the largest
investment anyone will ever make. A home inspection lets you know
the condition of the property BEFORE you close on it. You should
have a clear understanding about the property and feel confident
about the purchase of YOUR new home. Beacon Light documents any
major problems and checks for future problems to give you the peace
of mind you need. We also sometimes bring up safety items and
point out a few possible liability issues.
When does the buyer schedule a home inspection?
After you have made an offer to purchase and
before closing is the best time. Have your Attorney or Real
Estate Agent include an "Inspect Clause" in the contract! This
makes your purchase contingent upon the findings of a professional
home inspection.
Does having a home inspection guarantee or warrant against
future repairs?
NO! It only gives you a general idea of the
condition of the home and discloses present major repairs needed.
However, there are warranty programs which may be obtained to insure
you against failure of some of the major systems of the house.
