Today we are going to discuss the importance of having a home inspection on your St. Croix home.
A home inspection is an opportunity to protect yourself as a buyer. When you add a contingency into your offer as a buyer for a home inspection, if something comes up during the inspection that would cause you to not want to buy the home, it’s your protection in being able to walk away from the deal.
After the inspection is complete, you’ll review the items on the report with your agent and if there are any defects, you can negotiate fixes. There are going to be some items on the report that you won’t want to ask the sellers to make repairs on. We’re talking about minor cosmetic issues here. If there is a problem with a major system in the home, the seller has the responsibility to cover at least some of the repair costs. Sometimes they may ask you to split them.
The cost of a home inspection depends on the size of the home but usually is in the range of $300-$400.
If you have any questions for us about home inspections, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!
