Five Tips To Prepare For A Home Inspection

Five Tips To Prepare For A Home Inspection

In order to help you avoid common mistakes and ensure a smooth inspection process, your friends at Crown Home Inspections have compiled a list of five tips to prepare for your home inspection.

1. Be present during the inspection.

It may seem obvious, but one of the most important things you can do to prepare for your home inspection is to be present during the inspection. This will allow you to ask questions and get a better understanding of the inspector‘s findings. It will also give you the opportunity to see the property firsthand and identify any potential problems.

2. Clean up your property.

It‘s important to clean up your property before the home inspection. This means clearing away any clutter, moving furniture, and fixing any broken items. This will help the inspector conduct a more accurate inspection and avoid any potential delays. 

3. Make sure the property is accessible.

In order for the inspector to conduct a complete inspection, the property needs to be accessible. This means that all the areas of the property need to be accessible, including the attic, basement, and crawlspace. If there are any areas that are not accessible, be sure to let the inspector know in advance.

4. Repair any existing damage.

If you are aware of any damage to the property, be sure to repair it before the home inspection. This includes repairing any holes in the walls, fixing any leaks, and replacing any broken fixtures. It‘s also a good idea to replace any burntout light bulbs.

5. Ask the inspector questions.

Don‘t be afraid to ask the inspector questions. This is your chance to get a better understanding of the inspector‘s findings and find out what needs to be done to fix any potential problems.
