Buying a Iredell County home? Search all homes for sale
Today is part three of our series about home inspections. Inspections are highly valuable to the buyer, and they're important to the entire process of purchasing real estate. I'm going to continue to list off ways that you can prepare for an inspection.
1. Trim the vegetation around the property: The inspector will want to walk around the home, and clearing any overgrown bushes will help the inspector and it will speed up the process.
2. Remove any wood debris: You'll need to remove debris from your deck and your crawlspace.
3. Pay attention to moisture in your crawlspace: This can lead to serious problems in the future, so be sure to thoroughly inspect that area of your home. We're seeing more and more issues arise from this, and more and more buyers are expecting homeowners to have a moisture barrier.
4. Clean mold and mildew in your bathrooms: Mold and mildew are just unsightly, and they can be removed easily. Take the extra time and get rid of it before the inspector sees it.
5. Clean your gutters: Dirty gutters don't leave a very good impression on your inspector, or on potential home buyers.
Hopefully you
find these tips to be valuable. Getting ready for a home inspection is
important if you want to improve your home before selling. One of the
more important things that you can do before an inspection is to simply
communicate with your home inspector to find out exactly what's wrong
and how you can fix it.
